$ Is there a way to get the readline-library, which those programs need, to

you should be able to pick up the readline library from any gnu archive site.

another option, which may or may not work for you, is editline.  it's much
smaller than readline.  try ftp.white.toronto.edu:/pub/es/editline.shar.
