You definitely want to install readline, gdbm, etc.  They are
available either on the Linux CD that came with AIX or from the ftp
site above.  I was able to complete the build once I installed the
termcap libraries from the AIX CDs.  From the smit install, search for
the string termcap.  It will find two filesets.  Install both and the
build should work.
