I have readline-devel installed:

Package readline-devel-6.2-2.fc16.i686 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Yes, the src.rpm's require you to install all those before allowing
the "rpmbuild -bp"


So no idea what could be wrong.

Let me know if you need me to give you somo more info, or do some
