[R] R installation on ALPHA/OSF1

I am stuck in the installation of "R" on ALPHA runing OSF1/V5.1 for
individual use.
When I ran "./configure CC=cc F77=f77 Make=gmake ", the following
message came out,

506426:/usr/users/1/mwang2/R/R-2.1.1/bin/exec/R: /sbin/loader: Error:
libreadline.so.4: symbol "tgetflag" unresolved
506426:/usr/users/1/mwang2/R/R-2.1.1/bin/exec/R: /sbin/loader: Fatal
Error: Load of "/usr/users/9/jlim/R/R-2.1.1/bin/exec/R" failed:
Unresolved symbol name,

...


It seems the executable "R" has been made, but some parameters/flags
are
missing.

I checked some information about "R" installation on Alpha/OSF1, it
seems I should define some flags.  I tried some flags, for example,
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/freeware/include"
LDFlAGS="-l/usr/freeware/lib"
Shlib_CXXLDFLAGS="-l/lib/cmplrx/cxx",  I also put
$home/freeware/include,  $home/freeware/lib and $home/freeware/lib to my
LD_Library_Path.
Unfortunately these still didn't work.

Has anyone had this kind of problem before?

Thanks,

Meihua
