I've had this same problem with the 20061214 installer, and with the
previous 2 releases. Haven't tried Stuart's latest release yet. I run
this on SuSe 9.3. My solution was to manually install readline and the
other system packages needed. You can run the installer as root but
this is not recommended according to the installer documentation. It
tends to break things later in the install process..
