Re: [R] Problems with arrow keys

[Roger D. Peng]

It would seem that you don't have (the development libraries for) 
readline installed.  You need these when compiling from source.  On 
Redhat, the rpm is called readline-devel, but I'm not sure of the naming 
for Mandrake.  Check to see if something like this can be installed and 
then recompile.

Hello:

I just built R-1.8.0 on my Linux-Mandrake 9.0 using the commands,

./configure --enable-R-shlib
make
make install
It all seems to have gone fine.  But when I open R and use the arrow 
keys to try to go back to previous lines, it doesn't work.  What I get 
instead is something like.

> ^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A

I didn't have this problem when I installed R-1.7.1 as rpm.  I could 
make use of the arrow keys.

Help!
