Did you read the online version of the R Installation and Administration
manual at:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html
There you will find information in Appendix A about your problem. Please
also check that you have the development RPMs installed as well as those
providing readline as such. Appendix A does start with the reminder to:
"Remember that some package management systems (such as RPM and deb) make
a distinction between the user version of a package and the development
version. The latter usually has the same name but with the extension
`-devel' or `-dev': you need both versions installed."
