Nothing. Some minor confusion has arisen because the Linux binary
distributions (the .tar.gz versions, not the RPMs) are built on our RH
6.2 box which has libreadline.so.3 installed. If you try to install it
on a 7.0 or 7.1 box, or some other recent distribution, then
libreadline.so.3 is no more and has been replaced by libreadline.so.4.
Fortunately you can get away with linking one to the other, but that's a
slightly dodgy practice (presumably the version number was bumped for
some good reason).
The right thing to do on such a box is to use the RPM or debian package,
if one is available.
Cheers,
Simon
