R help - Jul 2002 - lmtest build fails, readline problem

Hi everyone,

I've downloaded the lmtest package, but I'm having trouble building it.
Here's the output:

copland:/home/wilson/tmp# R CMD INSTALL -l /usr/lib/R/library
lmtest_0.9-0.tar.gz
* Installing *source* package 'lmtest' ...
** libs
g77   -fPIC  -g -O2 -c pan.f -o pan.o
gcc -shared  -o lmtest.so pan.o   -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4
-lreadline -ldl -lncurses -lg2c-pic -lm -L/usr/lib/R/bin -lR
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [lmtest.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'lmtest'

It can't find readline, but I definitely have readline installed. There
doesn't appear to be a way to specify additional locations on the R CMD
line. It's possible that my readline version isn't compatible, but
I've
had no similar problems before. Readline works perfectly within R.

I can't find any documentation on how these package builds work. Where's
the Makefile? I looked in the R administration guide, but didn't find
the info I was looking for.

Any suggestions?

-Tim

this was on this list on July 9 (subject: mvtnorm failure or something
like that), citing Dirks answer:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is a pretty clear message:  you need to install the matching -dev
package 
for readline so that you can /compile and link/ against readline,
currently you
can 
only run pre-built programs using readline.
