This question is about compiling R-1.6.2 from source on a Sparcstation-20 machine running Solaris 7, gcc-2.95.3 and readline-4.2 (both gcc and readline from sunfreeware.com). I searched the r-help archive and the FAQ. The errors seem to be related to the binary readline libraries, and I have /usr/local/lib/libreadline.a,libreadline.so@, and libreadline.so.4. The attached errors are from

Hello! I'm trying to install R-1.9.1a with readline on Suse Linux. As recommended in other posts, I've installed readline and readline-devel: kevin@redtail:~/R-1.9.1> rpm -qa | grep readline readline-devel-32bit-9.0-0 readline-32bit-9.0-0 readline-4.3-207 readline-devel-4.3-207 Then I run configure with readline: ./configure --with-readline The relevant lines are:

I've built a 64bit version of R 1.9.1 on a solaris 2.9 sparc system. Everything seems quite functional, except that readline produces the following: > configure:21277: checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline > configure:21307: cc -xarch=v9 -o conftest -xO5 -xlibmil -dalign > -I/usr/local/include -L/us > r/local/lib conftest.c -lreadline -ldl -ltermcap -lm >&5

Dear R-help, I'm running into some strange problem compiling R 1.6.2 on Mandrake Linux 9.0.

Hi all When I try to compile 3.5.0rc1 on CentOS 5.4, I get the seemingly well know problem below Linking bin/smbclient /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum' /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetent'

We've recently "upgraded" a server to solaris 8, and in reinstalling R I've encountered a problem in getting it to recognize the readline library. I have installed readline in what I believe to be the "usual" place: /usr/local/lib with include files in /usr/local/include/readline. But ./configure produces: ragnar.econ.uiuc.edu# grep readline hout checking for

Dear R users, I am trying to install R 1.7.1 on a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 system. although gnu readline is installed and works fine on the parent directory, R is not recognizing it.

I compiled R-1.2.2 on my SuSE 7.1, kernel 2.4.2-2 machine with libreadline.4.1 and although I can use vi commands to scroll on the shell (bash) command line, I CANNOT do it in R.

Hi, I am trying to compile R-2.2.1 on Solaris 2.9 with a 64-bit build. Following the instructions in "R Installation and Adminstration", I changed the following settings in "config.site": CC="gcc -m64" F77="g77 -64" CXX="g++ -m64" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/sparcv9 -L/usr/local/lib" But I got the following error messages:

Hi all, I just upgraded to R-1.8.0. Everything worked fine but command line editing does not work. This clearly indicates that readline has not been found in the compilation process. How could I explicitely indicate where to find it ? I use a Red Hat 8.0 system. I checked the FAQ which says readline-devel is also needed, but I have it already installed. Perhaps should I add the configure

Hello, I am inexperienced in C program compilation and I receive the following error during the compilation of R (version 0.61.2) for Solaris 2.6.

Hi All, I am having trouble installing the sm package, and only the sm package. My box is RedHat 7.3 on a PIV. Readline 4.3-3 is installed (suited for RH 8, but same error under readline 4.2 for RH 7.3), but it seems to be looking for the readline library in the wrong directory. Will installing readline 4.1 do the trick? What else could be done? Rohan Sadler [root at rsadler R]# R CMD

R compiles very easily under Mandrake 9.2, with one exception: readline seems not to work. for some odd reason, in the configure script, rl_callback_read_char is set to no, so the R configure script does not use readline (I think this means it refuses to link readline into the executable, but I am not sure.) Now, MD 9.2 uses libreadline 4-4.3-7mdk (yes, it is installed), rather than

Hi, I am not sure if this is a bug, so I am posting it here. I also searched the FAQ file for the readline string and did not find anything about the behavior below. I just successfully rsync'ed, compiled and tested R-1.4.0 on my RH 7.2 Linux machine. I encountered one problem though. When running ./configure I noticed that I was getting errors from the readline library. Although

I have a whole bunch of readline libraries:

Hello, We have built R 1.4.1 on Red Hat 7.1 for use on both Red Hat 7.1 and 7.2.
