I am surprised to see you have an older system than ours.  We are 
usually
many years behind the curve.  I have placed libreadline.so.6 in the 
INTELCMP
LIBR area.  A MNJ in an hour or so will get it and things may be back to 
normal.
I switched from a READLINE 2005 version compiled locally to -lreadline 
in the
compilation.  If this does not work I can probably go to a static 
library
which has magically appeared since I last looked.

Let me know if it works.

\Cheers
