1) Please ask about R installation on the R-devel list: as the posting
guide says
Questions likely to prompt discussion unintelligible to
non-programmers should go to to R-devel.
2) This is covered quite explicitly in the 'R Installation and
Administration Manual'. Search for 'readline' there, and also make
sure you have studied the section on installation on AIX (which also
mentions this).
3) You always need to mention the version of R you are trying to
install.
