This question is about compiling R-1.6.2 from source on a

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).

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.
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.)
