Hi Frederick,
The development files for readline are not available. Install them to
get this working. For debian/ubuntu the package to install is called
libreadline-dev or something. SUSE's package manager might have a
similar package. Alternatively you can skip installing R from source and
use binary packages that are available in .dev, .rpm etc from CRAN [1].
This ensures you have the latest version of R and that upgrading is done
through the package manager of SUSE, minimizing your work.
cheers,
Paul
