They are (on Red Hat at least) part of the "XFree86-devel" package.
This package includes the header (*.h) files needed to allow compilation
and linking of programs that use X11, like the xas AIPS tv.

If you have the "readline-devel" package installed, it should actually
point to /usr/lib/libreadline.a (ideally).  However, I don't think the
readline library as distributed by AIPS has changed since 1999 (Eric
will correct me if I'm wrong here) and it basically works.

Yep, these are all normally put in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/*.h by the package
I mentioned (I checked on a stock RH7.2 system).
