Re: [R] R + Linux Ubuntu 10.10
Thank you for your very quick answers ! In fact, re-compiling it with readline support did the trick. Have a nice day!

Good but you may still want to read http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu as there is no reason to rebuild the package locally. These 'CRAN-ports' appear within a few days of releases -- I happen to be the Debian maintainer responsible for the underlying packaging used here, and I use these very packages produced by Michael and Vincent on all my Ubuntu machines. There are a number of little things these packages get right that you may be missing in local builds: all Depends properly set, enabling of memory profiling, shared library support (needed for things like rkward, Rapache, RInside, littler, ...), autocompletion, conffiles linked to /etc/R etc pp. You are of course free to build locally -- but I personally would rather not bother and am happy to let the package management system take care of it. There is also r-sig-debian for Ubuntu/Debian questions if you have any.
