Why do you need that? The configure test works correctly with the current
readline 5.0, which also needs ncurses.
What is `R.2.2'? There is no such thing, and your line numbers do not
correspond to R 2.2.0. But it is clear you are missing ncurses, on which
readline depends. My guess is that you have not installed the
ncurses-devel rpm (on which the readline-devel one really should depend).
