Library incompatibility

[Bob Hartung <rwhart netexpress net>]

HI all,
  I am running RH8 (Psyche) with all updates and errata installed on a new 
workstation.  I am trying to install a DICOM storage server as a test for a 
medical office. The install fails as it reports that libreadline.so.3 is 
needed.  RH 8.0 installes readline-4.3.-3.rpm that provides libreadline.so.4.

  Is there an elegantly simple way of fooling the install script into 
believing that libreadline.so.3 is actually installed.  Or is there some 
way to install a compabibility package?  I don't want to screw up the rest 
of the install as other evaluation packages have been installed and are 
running nicely.

  All help appreciated!
  TIA

Bob
