It does, but ...

You have to edit scripts/config	to change this bit:
set have_readline="no"
if ($readline == "y" || $readline == "yes") then
    set dflags=("$dflags" -DUSE_READLINE)
    if ( -f /usr/lib/libreadline.so ) then
        if (`nm /usr/lib/libreadline.so | grep pre_input | wc -l` > 0 ) then
            set have_readline="yes"
            set dflags=($dflags -DHAVE_READLINE)
            set rl_libs=($rl_libs -lreadline -ltermcap)
        endif
    else if ( -f /usr/lib/libreadline.a ) then
        if (`nm /usr/lib/libreadline.a | grep pre_input | wc -l` > 0 ) then
            set have_readline="yes"
            set dflags=($dflags -DHAVE_READLINE )
            set rl_libs=($rl_libs -lreadline -ltermcap)
        endif
    else
    endif
endif


To this bit:
set have_readline="no"
if ($readline == "y" || $readline == "yes") then
    set dflags=("$dflags" -DUSE_READLINE)
endif


The reason is that Red Hat has turned off some deprecated functions
in its shipped version of readlin in order to deal with some symbol
colisions; and magic uses those depricated functions.

Without them it wont compile, so if it detects the readline lib on the 
system, (which it will) it wont try and use its own copy (which it needs).

I intend on getting a fix for this in to magic in a few weeks (finals approah now)
