I have readline library where configure is not expecting it. How can I tell configure where that library is, and how can I compile R on Solaris with readline? Solutions were offered for R 0.61.3 but they do not seem to work for the new release: at least my trial and errors did not give desired effect. Wouldn't it be helpful if after autoconfig the user were informed whether compilation will be with/without readline? A.

It shouldn't have changed all that much, but there's one important difference: You need version 2.1 or later of readline (necessitated by the event-handling in the new graphics). I need to get it in place on our Solaris machines as well, so I'll be finding out the exact details soon. Will get back with what I find out.> Wouldn't it be helpful if after autoconfig the user were informed > whether compilation will be with/without readline?Good idea. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

[Still, if you were linking against a shared version of readline in a nonstandard location, then you would need to play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.] Why would readline be in a non-standard place?> Wouldn't it be helpful if after autoconfig the user were informed > whether compilation will be with/without readline?Yes, it would be :-) -k -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- 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 !)
