Hello Simon,

this indicates a problem with readline, but are there more symbols
missing? Can you please try the following:

 - do you have libncurses-devel installed? On some systems readline
requires ncurses and its development packages
 - if you don't have that package installed please install it and
recompile from scratch in a different directory, just to be sure
 - if that doesn't help please post the complete logfile somewhere on
the net (after compressing it) and post a link here so I (or others)
can take a closer look.

The dependencies of readline have been discussed in #sage-devel
before, but there hasn't been any resolution yet. It seems to be
distribution dependent if they are needed or not.

Cheers,

Michael
