Dear R users, I am trying to install R 1.7.1 on a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 system. although gnu readline is installed and works fine on the parent directory, R is not recognizing it. I get the following in the config.log file.
configure:11627: checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline configure:11658: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c -lreadline -ldl -ltermcap -lm >&5 ld: fatal: library -lreadline: not found ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I also tried to install the most recent version of readline (version 4.3) with no luck. as I do not have root access to the system I have included the readline directory in my home path. I beleive that I have to change the path of the readline library from usr/local/lib to my own which is on /local/R/readline, however I do not want to change the configure file without making sure I am doing the right thing, Any help is appreciated, Jean Eid ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
