Logged in as 'root' user do the following:

ln -s /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 /usr/lib/libreadline.so.5

And then continue with the installation....

the o/p for ldconfig -p | grep libreadline

it is
ibreadline.so.4 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4

thanks,

I'm no RPM expert, but doesn't a failed RPM dependency require that you
install the correct RPM rather than adding probably-incompatible
symlinks between different major versions of a library?

I'd suggest finding and installing a libreadline5 RPM.

Regards, Dave

The case here is that he might be using a RPM which is for FC5 and been used
on FC4 which is why it keeps on looking for so.5 as libreadline.so.5 is the
updated libreadline.so.4 in FC5.

I have tried making symlinks (workaround) in the past and that worked for me
this way when I used a FC5 built RPM on FC4 :)

Install readline!

Yours,
Laurenz Albe

Do the following:

ldconfig

Once that is done show me the output for:

ldconfig -p | grep libreadline

and

locate libreadline.so.5
