[R] Problems with arrow keys
Hello: I just built R-1.8.0 on my Linux-Mandrake 9.0 using the commands, ./configure --enable-R-shlib make make install It all seems to have gone fine. But when I open R and use the arrow keys to try to go back to previous lines, it doesn't work. What I get instead is something like. ^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A I didn't have this problem when I installed R-1.7.1 as rpm. I could make use of the arrow keys. Help!

Re: [R] Problems with arrow keys
It would seem that you don't have (the development libraries for) readline installed. You need these when compiling from source. On Redhat, the rpm is called readline-devel, but I'm not sure of the naming for Mandrake. Check to see if something like this can be installed and then recompile. -roger Andrew Criswell wrote: Hello: I just built R-1.8.0 on my Linux-Mandrake 9.0 using the commands, ./configure --enable-R-shlib make make install It all seems to have gone fine.
