You seem to be missing the package called readline. My RHEL-5 shows
the following: # yum whatprovides libreadline.so.5
Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, security, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
readline-5.1-3.el5.i386 : A library for editing typed command lines.
Repo : rhel-x86_64-server-5
Matched from:
Other : libreadline.so.5
You might be missing the rhel-x86_64-server-5 repository. If this is
on a RHEL-system, you likely need to register it at the Red Hat
Network: - https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/11216
This is a CentOS box. Maybe I messed up the repos on install. At any
rate, you've given me a place to start troubleshooting.
Thank you.
