Hi, Besides the problem with gnome, I have now a compiled version of R-1.4.0 that has the same functionality than what I had from an rpm installation, except that the arrow keys (so useful to recover history and edit lines) write garbage like: ^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A The keys work fine in both kde and xterm windows outside R. I suspect this might be something to specify in one of the Renviron files, but don't have the ones created by the rpm to compare. By the way, the installation did not create any Renviron.site file, is this a problem?

Looks like the readline library is not installed or was not linked during the installation process.

The readline-dev package need to be installed. As Peter pointed out earlier, check the config.log to see why readline is not found.
