Mike,

I found them on rpmfind.net. I used the rawhide-1.0 source versions for
both readline and readline-devel. Rebuilt both rpms and they installed
without a hitch. So did the upgrade to postgres.

They're available because I have them here:

/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/readline-4.2-2.i386.rpm
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/readline-devel-4.2-2.i386.rpm

If it's desired, I'll put them in a temporary ftp space so they can be
moved to a postgres ftp server.
