[Rd] R loads uncorrect readline library (PR#1304)
Hello, We have built R 1.4.1 on Red Hat 7.1 for use on both Red Hat 7.1 and 7.2. Running R on Red Hat 7.2 fails with the following error message: $ R /usr/local/r-1.4.1/lib/R/bin/R.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.4.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ This is because Red Hat 7.1 provides readline-4.1 while Red Hat 7.2. provides readline-4.2. Both are supposed to be binary compatible. R should attempt to load libreadline.so.4 instead of libreadline.so.4.1.

This is what happens when you build against libreadline on RH7.1. RedHat supplies the readline41-4.1-10 package in 7.2 for compatibility, which is the preferred workaround. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
