This software is compiled for use with glibc-2.0.5
You have first to install the library package!

Installation hints:

	Don't forget ldconfig...

	If /{,usr/}lib/libreadline.so exist, remove it and do this in
	/usr/lib : ln -sf ../../lib/libreadline.so.3.0 libreadline.so
	/usr/lib : ln -sf ../../lib/libhistory.so.3.0 libhistory.so

	Sorry, the first version of this archive hasn't included the 
	-soname=libreadline.so.3 statement while making it.
	I found this while compiling ncftp, which refused to work
	because it used the wrong lib...
