I have recompiled the r-base package for Debian-2.0 with readline support. I still haven't determined why the configure script does not detect the readline library on one machine but does detect it on another where I compiled this. The package is available as ftp://franz.stat.wisc.edu/pub/R/bin/i386-linux/Debian-2.0/r-base_0.61.1-3_i386.deb and should appear on the other CRAN mirrors by Monday. It has been uploaded to master.debian.org and should appear on the Debian mirrors by Monday too. There it is located in dists/unstable/main/math/r-base_0.61.1-3_i386.deb -- Douglas Bates bates at stat.wisc.edu Statistics Department 608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madison http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
