Do you happen to have such an older version that could get picked up by the linker? What's inside config.log corresponding to the messages? These tests generally work by compiling and linking a small test program, and if that fails, you get the "no" part. However, sometimes the program fails for some other reason and the message becomes misleading. > checking for history_truncate_file... no > configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not > available > > I'm on a ASUS W2V laptop (Chipset 915PM), on Mandriva 2005LE distro, > libreadline5 and readline5-devel installed. > > I managed to get it compiled and installed using option --with-readline=no. > However, as I use R dayly, I'd like to get a functional terminal again.... > > Can I do something to fix this, is it a configure script error or should I > just change distro? :)) > > The R.2.0 rpm for mandrake installs ok. > > here the location of my libreadline files > /usr/lib/libreadline.a > /usr/lib/libreadline.so > /lib/libreadline.so.5 > /lib/libreadline.so.5.0 > /lib/libreadline.so > > CheeRs! > > Pedro > > > ____________________________________________________________ > > Pedro Cordeiro Estrela > PhD. student > > UMR 2695: Origine structure et évolution de la biodiversité > Département de systématique et évolution > Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle > > 55, rue Buffon > 75005 > Paris - FRANCE > > tel: (33) [0]1 40 79 30 86 > fax: (33) [0]1 40 79 30 63 > [0] : from france only > _____________________________________________________________ > > --------------------------------- > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
