The first thing to try what it says: run Ranlib. However, it's not clear which library you need to run it on: my system has no dir /lib/readline ; the Readline pkg installs /usr/lib/libhistory.a , which is present. So you could try 'ranlib /usr/lib/libhistory.a' or you could try remerging the Readline pkg, which mb damaged in some way. I emerged this version of Bash 070728 without any problem. My Readline version is 5.2_p4 (070701): do you need to upgrade yours ?
