Did you mean Tab here? I.e. you type "libr", you press Tab, and R
autocompletes that to "library".

Sounds like readline and/or terminal problems. How was R compiled and
installed on this system? What terminal are you running R in, and is the
$TERM variable set correctly? Does the target system have the correct
termcap definitions for this terminal?

Perhaps https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.html
could be of some help to you.
