The message concerning readline is common in compiling console mode programs. If you search on readline, you'll learn what it does. Since you are compiling source, the header files for the appropriate libraries need to available in the path. You need to install the readline and readline.h files before you can compile. If your RedHat was not installed with the appropriate developer modules, you need to install them. You'll need to enter your package manager (Yum, PackageKit?), if possible, search for "readline," and install the related files. Rerun configure. It may fail one or times success. Each time, find the appropriate package and install it. Note also that if these packages also need to be compiled before they can be used, you may need to run down other packages as well.
Think of it as an adventure.
