Redhat actually also has older compatibility libraries (you can get them 
from rpmfind.net). I think this problem you encountered has something to do 
with the fact that Coda RPMs are built on a RH 5.2 (or was it 6.2?) system.

So these are the compatibility libraries I have installed (for 7.3) apart 
from the standard ncurses and readline

ncurses4-5.0-5 (gives libncurses.so.4)
readline2.2.1-2.2.1-4 (gives libreadline.so.3)

rpmfind links (the first one is for 8.0, the second should work for it too)

http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/8.0/i386/ncurses4-5.0-9.i386.html
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/i386/readline2.2.1-2.2.1-4.i386.html
