Dear R-helpers,

for the first time since R-0.6x I have to face installation problem. I
switched to a new Linux-box (SuSE 9.0) and installed as many libraries as
possible.

R-1.9.0.tgz went to /usr/local/lib and was extracted without problems.

After running properly for a while, 'configure' (called without any
switches) gave
"configure: creating ./config.status" which was followed by
"/bin/sh: relocation error: /bin/sh: undefined symbol:  rl_completion_suppress_append".

The last line obviously wasn't produced by 'configure' as it came via
stderr.

No makefile was created. I ran './config.status' followed by 'make'. After
several minutes of behaving nice, the compilation process aborted with
the following output:


make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/lib/R-1.9.0/src/library'

The same occured when trying to build R-1.8.0 on my new system. In
contrast it configured and compiled nicely on my 4 year old Linux
system. Can somebody help?

Many, many thanks in advance!
