Dear R users I am trying to install F. Harrell's Hmisc and Design packages for R 1.5.0. (Linux mandrake 8.2 build), but when using "R CMD INSTALL" I get the following error: R CMD INSTALL Hmisc_1.0-1.tar.gz *Installing *source* package 'Hmisc' ... ** libs g77 -fPIC -g -02 -c cidxcn.f -o cidxcn.o g77 -fPIC -g -02 -c cidxcp.f -o cidxcp.o g77 -fPIC -g -02 -c hoeffd.f -o hoeffd.o g77 -fPIC -g -02 -c largrec.f -o largrec.o gcc -I/usr/lib/R/include -I/usr/local/include -D__NO_MATH_INLINE PIC -03 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro -march=i586 -fno-strength-reduce -c ranksort.c -o rcorr.o gcc -shared -o Hmisc.so cidxcn.o cidxcp.o hoeffd.o largrec.o ran - L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3. gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.0.4/../../.. -lreadline -ldl -l ic -lm /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: ***[Hmisc.so] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Hmisc' I have checked for the ld and readline libraries and they are in my system, so I don't know what is missed in my system. Any ideas?
