Encountered a problem installing R on

Thanks

I downloaded the source ( R-2.8.1.tar.gz ) due to no release being available
for CentOS.
My ./configure --with-x=no --with-readline=no R_PAPERSIZE='letter'

And the problem is? (Failure to compile conftest.c is not necessarily a problem. Configure deliberately uses non-compilable files in a number of places.)

What was the final result of running configure?

(Please don't file as bugs in R issues when you are not sure that they are.)
