[R] rl_callback_read_char error on Solaris 7
This question is about compiling R-1.6.2 from source on a
Sparcstation-20 machine running Solaris 7, gcc-2.95.3 and
readline-4.2 (both gcc and readline from sunfreeware.com).
I searched the r-help archive and the FAQ. The errors seem to be
related to the binary readline libraries, and I have
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.a,libreadline.so@, and
libreadline.so.4.
The attached errors are from config.log. ./configure finds
readline header files in /usr/local/include/readline. I can make
and install R, but command line editing and savehistory() do not
work.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Yuelin Li.

This is not an R question, but one for the maintainers of sunfreeware.com. There is no problem with those tools if compiled from the sources (although they are rather old versions).

Suggestions are appreciated. Compile libreadline yourself? That is what I had to do. I first tried a version from sunfreeware.com, without success. (Also for png and jpeg support, though the pre-compiled versions may not have come from sunfreeware; I do not remember.)
