readline support on openSuSE

This question concerns compilation of Python from sources. Specifically Python
2.3.6.

On Kubuntu 7.04, ./configure outputs these lines about readline:
checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... yes
checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... yes

On openSuSE 10.3, ./configure outputs these lines about readline:
checking for rl_pre_input_hook in -lreadline... no
checking for rl_completion_matches in -lreadline... no

And, of course, line editing in Python shell is possible on Kubuntu and
impossible on openSuSE.

I do have libreadline5 and readline-devel RPM installed on openSuSE. What else
might I need to have readline support?

This is not an answer but

I have 10.3 installed, and I found that a lot of my (not python-) compiling troubles went away after installing 'a lot' from the
development patterns presented by yast.
I am so demented that I tend not to get the dependencies straight when installing from the 'personal memory';-)
