Depending on how ncurses is built, the terminfo functions
can either be part of the ncurses library or can be
in their own separate terminfo library.

Some packages expect there to be a terminfo library, and
some know them to be in ncurses library.

So the problem, I guess, is that you have either built
ncurses with terminfo as a separate library included,
or that readline is expecting 
both to be there when really only ncurses is required.

This is going by memory, but, I think it is true...
