Hello developers, I just compiled R 0.62.3 on my Linux-box. However, the R prompt doesn't seem to use the gnu-readline, but generates fancy escapes when using the cursor keys. As I - have GNU readline installed, - have run configure with option --enable-readline, - unsuccessfully have spent half a day browsing through the sources in order to find a reason... ...I don't know what went wrong. Is this a bug? If you can tell me how I can activate the readline, please mail to my private address (wreich@gwdg.de) TIA, Wendelin cu/ru... ===================================================Wendelin Reich Tel.

If you do configure without (possibly even with) --enable-readline it will try to find the library. If it fails at that point the file config.log will contain some error messages indicating what didn't work. These, together with information on where readline is located and what version it is, would help diagnose the problem.
