Can't neither install rpm nor compile latest PDP++ under Mandrake9.0

["Juan P. Rigol" <jrigol@geo.ed.ac.uk>]

Hi all,

I tried to install the precompiled rpm for linux on
my Mandrake 9 machine but I had no success. I installed
several libraries as they were requested but eventually
could not make the installer find the libreadline.so.4,
despite it is in the /lib dir... So I decided to compile
the latest version.
I've applied some workarounds given on previous emails
about compiling under Linux but eventually got stuck.
Please, could anyone give me a hint?
The error message looks like:
