Do you also have readline-devel installed? This has the headers and static
libraries, etc., and it looks as though it is libreadline.a that is
missing. It isn't needed by splancs, but is a standard library included in
the linking phase of building any package with a compiles shared library,
so installing any such package should give the same error, I think.
Splancs is maintained on an RH7.2 system with gcc-2.96-108.7.2 and
gcc-g77-2.96-108.7.2, and no such problem has been encountered here.
