Argh... Error compiling bash 2.04..

[kuber]

I am almost done compiling all the necessary components for a linuxfromscratch system but I am having a hell of a time with bash 2.04... I am getting the error:

./lib/readline/libreadline.a(terminal.o): In function `_rl_control_keypad':
/mnt/lfs/usr/src/bash-2.04/lib/readline/terminal.c:573: undefined reference to `tputs'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [bash] Error 1

Ahh... Anyone know what is going on here?
I looked at the code but couldn't really make much of it.
thanks,
kuber

Why not just install it from RPM? (just kidding!)
Look further "up the page" before this error occurs - it is likely that a necessary header file/library could not be found and this was the knock on effect.
