R help - Oct 2012 - Up key is not the previous command

I am using R on Fedora 17 and the up arrow is not the previous
command. On my command line on my terminal, the up arrow is the
previous command



Tjun Kiat

run

capabilities(what="cledit")

in your R terminal session. If you get FALSE, your R was compiled
without command line editing support which you need for the "up arrow"
action.

FWIW, it works with the R version packaged in Fedora 17 here.


My two cents
