compiling pspp on linux redhat 7.2

[jimd]

Hi,
I don't have debian, so un-ar'ing the .deb version is not simple.
So I downloaded the source and ran ./configure.
Then I ran make, which crashed with:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I.. -I../src -I../lib -I../intl  
-D_GNU_SOURCE=1  -g -Wall -W -Wno-uninitialized -Wwrite-strings 
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -c glob.c
In file included from /usr/include/readline/history.h:34,
                 from glob.c:47:
/usr/include/readline/rltypedefs.h:73: parse error before `*'
