install; readline error with 7.3.4

On my RH 9.0 linux system when ./configuring 7.3.4 I get an error about
not finding the readline libs, however both the readline and
readline-devel rpms are installed:

# rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-4.3-5
readline-devel-4.3-5

What library/rpm am I missing?

The config.log file has this to say:

configure:5786: result: no
configure:5800: checking for readline
configure:5837: gcc -o conftest -O2 conftest.c -lreadline -lcrypt
-lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lbsd >&5

On some linux redhat-ish distros I think you also need ncurses-devel
and/or termcap-devel for configure to find readline capabilities.

The multiprocessing module is still fairly new and obviously needs more fine tuning for the large set of platforms on which Python can run. However, please also note that FreeBSD4 is a rather old version of that OS. FWIW: Python 2.6 compiles just fine on FreeBSD6. Thanks.

Hi Marc-Andre, Thanks for the suggestion. I opened a ticket for this issue: http://bugs.python.org/issue4204 Now I understand the state of the multiprocessing module, but it's too bad to see math, mmap and readline modules, that worked fine before, cannot be built anymore.
