The 'readline hell' part is an annoying openSUSE problem. If you see the file spkg-install of the package readline, you will find that there is a provision for trying to recognize the system's readline package. But this is only useful for some versions of openSUSE. For example readline in sage-4.5.2 only recognizes openSUSE 11.1. Likewise sage-4.5.3 might not recognize your SUSE distribution. You'll have to create a small workaround --- much in the same way as the creators of the spkg-install file did.
