Been working at it for three (3) day's now (inc. 2 day's of reading)
and I'm testing it _now_ on mandrake

No, the reason given by rpm is that libreadline.so.3 is not installed.
mandrake (7.1) ships libreadline.so.4.1, so you will have to use
a little hack, ln -s /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4 /usr/lib/libreadline.3
and install with rpm -Uvh blablabla.rpm --nodeps

Not found a problem with that _yet_
