But first check sequencing - I'm pretty sure that configure can find
header files on RedHat if they are there. 

He's not too good at interpreting his output:

and as far as I can see, this means that readline-devel got installed
and readline (NOT -devel) was there already. So readline-devel is
there now, but wasn't there before. Now did he rerun configure? If so,
did it fail with a different message?
