[R] Problem in compilation from source in./configure R.2.2
Hello useRs! I'm REALLY having trouble with readline when compiling R. 2.2 from source during ./configure. Here are the last lines of the configure log: 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 checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for main in -lncurses... no checking for main in -ltermcap... no checking for main in -ltermlib... no checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for history_truncate_file... no configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available I'm on a ASUS W2V laptop (Chipset 915PM), on Mandriva 2005LE distro, libreadline5 and readline5-devel installed. I managed to get it compiled and installed using option --with-readline=no. However, as I use R dayly, I'd like to get a functional terminal again.... Can I do something to fix this, is it a configure script error or should I just change distro? :)) The R.2.0 rpm for mandrake installs ok. here the location of my libreadline files /usr/lib/libreadline.a /usr/lib/libreadline.so /lib/libreadline.so.5 /lib/libreadline.so.5.0 /lib/libreadline.so CheeRs!

Do you happen to have such an older version that could get picked up by the linker? What's inside config.log corresponding to the messages? These tests generally work by compiling and linking a small test program, and if that fails, you get the "no" part. However, sometimes the program fails for some other reason and the message becomes misleading.> checking for history_truncate_file... no > configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available > > I'm on a ASUS W2V laptop (Chipset 915PM), on Mandriva 2005LE distro, libreadline5 and readline5-devel installed. > > I managed to get it compiled and installed using option --with-readline=no.
