include output of /lib/libreadline.so or attach the file. I'm using readline5 without any problems.
I checked libreadline.so - it had filesize of 0, so I re-emerged it and it was fine.
I had to do the same thing (remerge sys-libs/readline) on my amd64 system because there was no link /lib64/libreadline.so I wonder why it wasn't created the first time?
