Okay. I've downloaded the SRPMs of the rawhide readline. My first
attempt to build the RPMS via rpm -ba failed because I don't have
autoconf > 2.50. I'll download that SRPM, attempt to upgrade autoconf,
then attempt to upgrade readline. I'm very thankful for the RedHat 6.2
RPMS, BTW. But I'm starting to wander into dependency hell... :-)
