Can u pls suggest me how to rectify such pblm. > Manish, If you are installing from source, then presumably you have unpacked the tar.gz source in a directory and run ./configure. Configure will write out a log file that should tell you precisely what you need to install if elements are missing. Readline is GNU library that you need to install explicitly in some flavors linux. It permits editing lines and recalling history in terminal applications. BTW, simply search on the web will usually answer questions like these. You are not unique in needing to decipher obscure error messages.
