In the R-2.3.0 directory, what do you get if you type bin/R? Does R starts up OK, or do you get an error? What were the last few lines of output from running configure?

You have two choices (AFAIK): 1. Tell configure exactly where to find the readline header files (by something like --with-readline=/where/the/files/are, check configure --help). 2. Compile R without readline; i.e., configure --with-readline=no.
