Your libreadline.so is not dynamically linked against libncurses.
Here is what I get on Debian:

ldd /usr/lib/libreadline.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7ff9000)
        libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7f7b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb7e34000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/i686/cmov/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e2f000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ffa000)

I thought this was ubiquitous nowadays.  In any case, just committed a
fix to explicitly add -lncurses, so please wash, rinse, and repeat,
i.e. cvs update, retry, and repost if necessary.

Take care,
