Hello! I'm trying to install R-1.9.1a with readline on Suse Linux. As
recommended in other posts, I've installed readline and readline-devel:
kevin@redtail:~/R-1.9.1> rpm -qa | grep readline
readline-devel-32bit-9.0-0
readline-32bit-9.0-0
readline-4.3-207
readline-devel-4.3-207
Then I run configure with readline:
./configure --with-readline
The relevant lines are:
kevin@redtail:~/R-1.9.1> ./configure --with-readline | grep readline
checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no
checking readline/history.h usability... yes
checking readline/history.h presence... yes
checking for readline/history.h... yes
checking readline/readline.h usability... yes
checking readline/readline.h presence... yes
checking for readline/readline.h... yes
In config.log all readline tests pass except this one:
configure:21277: checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline
configure:21307: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include

Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can provide.

If you've got the required rpm's installed (and they install in the usual locations), you should not need the --with-readline flag. Try running configure with out it. -roger Kevin Bartz wrote:> Hello! I'm trying to install R-1.9.1a with readline on Suse Linux.

Given this is turning out to be an FAQ, wouldn't it make sense to have these rpm's as depends for the R rpm? (I always compile from source, so don't know what the R rpm actually depends on.)
