HI,
 I am trying to install EPICS R3.14 on linux-x86

I'm a little surprised that your Linux distribution doesn't include the
readline library. My RedHat 7.2 system has libreadline in /usr/lib/.
You can either obtain the readline library or tell EPICS not to use it
by changing

src/libCom/osi/os/Linux/osdReadline.h

from

#define IOCSH_REAL_READLINE

to

#define IOCSH_FAKE_READLINE
I recommend the former course of action. EPICS interaction is a lot
more enjoyable with command history and command-line editing.
