R devel - Jun 2009 - compile and install R @ one user defined directory? (PR#13779)

Dear Helper,

Under UNIX "Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a SPARC" and with following
"R Installation and Administration" @ http://cran.r-project.org/,

First, I unzipped the unix version winzip source code R-2.9.0.tar.gz  using
following commands at my own dir:

              /home/xwu/R1>gzip -dc R-2.9.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
             (a subdir  /home/xwu/R1R-2.9.0/ was created successfully under
/home/xwu/R1)

Then I go to /home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0 to compilation and installation using
following command:

            /home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0> ./configure --prefix=3D/home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0

The error comes:
        configure: error: --with-readline=3Dyes (default) and headers/libs are
not available


is there something error? or should I add more env shell variable? or should I
continue to move on by typing?

    make prefix=3D/home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0       install


Thanks,

Xuanfu

This is not a bug. Please do not abuse the bug repository.

The error is what it says it is: You don't have readline headers and
libraries, or not where configure can find them. Install them or use
configure --without-readline --prefix=....
