Latest R-devel build failing on OS X
I had a regression in config.site so the nightly build didn't. Retrying.... Looks like it will build, but the ctl-R, ctl-C bug is still present on OSX (w/Simon's libs). This _was_ fixed for a while, was it not? (The NEWS entry is also wrong: The issue existed before readline 6.3) -pd

Can you (Frederick, Peter, Keith, but ideally others, too) confirm that you don't see any problems anymore, when building a version of R-devel from sources that are newer than (or equal to) svn revision 70632 (2016-05-19 10:59:51, see below)? I'm asking because the question is open if these should be "back ported" to R 3.3.0 patched or not. Best regards, Martin

Readline <= 6.2 shouldn't require the SIGWINCH patch, so if older versions have trouble finding rl_resize_terminal then you could wrap a macro around that part.
I find python related patches that use
#ifdef HAVE_RL_RESIZE_TERMINAL
so they must have configured for that. We could and probably should do the same, but as a Linux_only guy currently (even basically only one flavor of Linux), I'd appreciate others to produce code for that.
Actually that was easy (in hindsight.. I took too long!) enough, so I've now committed

check for rl_resize_terminal() now ------------------------------------------------------------------------
... and Keith should even not see the warning anymore (nor Peter the error, when compiling using readline 5.x instead of 6.[23]).
