Dear R-help,
I'm running into some strange problem compiling R 1.6.2 on Mandrake Linux
9.0. When I do
./configure --enable-R-shlib
I get the following in config.log:
==========================configure:11366: checking for rl_callback_read_char in

configure:11418: result: no
================================
Does this mean my readline installation is somehow defective? I've tried
re-installing readline (and readline-devel) version 4.3-4, to no avail. Can
someone give me some hints?
Regards,
Andy

(Curiously, on RH, the readline RPM does not require ncurses, even though the library clearly has symbol references to it...) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.

Thanks very much to Prof. Dalgaard. The problem was missing ncurses and ncurses-devel. After installing those, configure now finds readline properly.
