Hmmm... I couldn't get the rc-1.5b2 distribution to do that under the
same version of Linux you say you're using.  It claims it can't find
-lreadline.  (It's there in /usr/lib/readline.* dammit!)  Hacking it
into config.h and Makefile by hand seems to work.

Well lets see, for starters it hangs doing a "make trip" which is the
basic symptom I remember for the shared libraries.  My recollection
was that this was usually associated with waiting for a prompt from a
subshell, or something like that.  Hmmm, this actually looks a bit
different, maybe something else is interfering...  I'll get back to
you on this...
