Yup. If you check out the doc URL:
http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/readline.html#download
it suggests:
It depends on the readline library and its header-files;
for example, on Debian you may also need:
# aptitude install libreadline6 libreadline6-dev
but I don't know about Centos. If you find the right Centos
command, let me know, I'll mention it in the doc ...
In general, aptitude lets you search, eg:
aptitude search readline
