R devel - Feb 2002 - Command History (PR#1310)

Greetings,

I don't know if this is a bug or something I did wrong. The symptom is that 
my command history is now broken. For example, the up arrow now results in 
^[OA each time it is depressed.

The build commands I used were as follows:

cp R-1.4.1.tgz /usr/lib/R
cd /usr/lib/R
tar -xvvzf R-1.4.1.tgz
cd R-1.4.1
./configure
make
make check	# No errors resulted
make dvi
make pdf
make info
make install
make install-dvi
make install-pdf
make install-info
rehash		# An alias for hash -r

A previous version of R I was using (1.3.0) was installed in a different tree 
and is no longer in use (the R script points to the new tree). I am running 
SuSE 7.3, and the former version of R did not have this problem.

Please let me know if this is a bug or if I've done something wrong.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Steve

You missed the notice about readline support.

Make sure that -dev version of your distributions readline package is
installed, and found by R.
