Would like to share that I am having the exact same problem running on Ubuntu 7.04 trying to install the R-2.5.0.tar.gz file
After trying './configure' I also get the same error message: configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available Hope some one can help us out on this one Cheers, Daniel Xyoby Chavez wrote: > > hi every body. > > Im new in this program.
