Laurent - I had no trouble with configuring, compiling and running R under Redhat 8.0. My system now gives
uname -a Linux host 2.4.18-14smp #1 SMP Wed Sep4 12:34:47 EDT 2002 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux rpm -qa | grep readline readline41-4.1-14 readline-4.3-4 readline-devel-4.3-3 The only difference I can see is that I have readline-4.3-4, while you show readline-4.3-3. So now I remember: on CRAN, somewhere near the R source rpm for linux when I downloaded it there is a special readline rpm, and a readme file from Martyn Plummer which says, in part, "Graeme Ambler has kindly provided patched rpms. His gpg ID is 62897321 and his public key is available from pgp.net (see below)." Somehow, I got readline-4.3-4 out of that rpm. Hmmmm. All seems to work fine for me. - tom blackwell - u michigan medical school - ann arbor - ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
