No more command history with cursor keys

[Chris]

Indeed, readline.so exists in my Python2.2 install (part of SuSE 8.2) but
not in the Python 2.3.4 install that I built. I tried to copy the file but
there's a mismatch.
But I don't understand what went wrong: configure / make / make install all
finished successfully.
How can I get that readline.so file?
