What is exact version of /usr/opt/freeware/lib/libreadline.so.6 library ?

Where can I find libreadline.h library associated with /usr/opt/freeware/lib/libreadline.so.6 library ?

The readline library coming from rpm.rte is readline version 6.1.The library is needed for rpm functionality.

If you need the readline header files , you need to install readline and readline-devel rpms from AIX Toolbox.
