Newbie: More readline woes.

Hello List...

I'm trying to install postgresql 7.2.3 after removing
the rpm installation (which worked ok with readline) on RH7.3. My problem is
that the output of configure states:
...
checking for readline... no
...
with the result that postgresql installs ok but I don't have any command-line
history. Readline .so files are installed on /usr/lib and the header files in
/usr/include/readline.

This is my configure command:

./configure --enable-multibyte '--enable-nls='it fr de'
--with-openssl=/usr/share/ssl --enable-syslog --with-includes=/usr/include
--with-libraries=/usr/lib

Any suggestions to figure out why it's not recognizing readline already
installed are greatly appreciated.

(If I install from rpms command-line history works - but I'd like to use the latest version and install to /usr/local/pgsql instead of redhat's default /usr/lib/pgsql)

thanks
/j-p.
