that looks more like a problem with your shell. which one are you using? perhaps it it solved by using another one e.g. bash. otherwise you can find at the end of the *.pdf "R-intro" http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf a chapter called: the command line editor perhaps that helps.
I looked only into the FAQs, but without success.
Sorry, no, no shell is involved. This is what happens in Unix R if the readline library is not compiled in/activated (you can start R with --no-readline). Since you said you built `R-base-1.7.0' (not sure what that is: an SRPM?)
It is R-1.7.0.tar.gz in combination with R-base-1.7.0.spec, works really good.
my guess is that you don't have the readline development tools on your system. Take a look at the configure output, and see what it said about readline. You may need to install libreadline-devel or something like that.
I guess that's it: checking for pwd.h... yes checking readline/history.h usability... no checking readline/history.h presence... no checking for readline/history.h... no checking readline/readline.h usability... no checking readline/readline.h presence... no checking for readline/readline.h... no checking for strings.h... (cached) yes I wasn't aware that readline-devel exists. Thanks Sebastian
