Best regards, Olivier
I'm not familiar with Mandrake but it appears that you are missing either the readline or perhaps the readline-devel packages (I'm guessing the names here). -roger _______________________________ UCLA Department of Statistics rpeng at stat.ucla.edu http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~rpeng On Mon, 7 Apr 2003, Martin Olivier wrote:> Hi all, > > I tried to install the mvtnorm library on linux (mandrake version) and i > obtained the following result : > > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make: *** [mvtnorm.so] Erreur 1 > ERROR: compilation failed for package 'mvtnorm' > > Could you help me ? > Best regards, > Olivier > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >

In this special case, readline was installed at compile time but is not at runtime. Install the readline shared libraries and header files (something like 'libreadline4-dev') and this problem should be gone. Alternatively, install R from its sources which is always a good idea ... This issue was discussed on r-help several times, wasn't it, Dirk? ;-) best, Torsten> Could you help me ? > Best regards, > Olivier > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > >
