problem to install R on linux
I ran into the same issue and again it was not having proper PATH (with include folders set) and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. -----Original Message----- From: Andr?? Bel??

I found the lines with the "readline/readline.h" information. This was because I did not have the realine package installed. After installing it I was able to install the R-2.0.0 using the .rpm binary version, however, I'm still not able to install the v2.2.1 from the source. Now I'm getting the following error after the ./configure command: "... checking whether we can compute C Make dependencies... yes, using gcc -MM checking whether gcc supports -c -o FILE.lo... yes checking how to get verbose linking output from gfortran... configure: WARNING: c ompilation failed checking for Fortran libraries of gfortran... checking how to get verbose linking output from gcc... -v checking for C libraries of gcc... -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i586-mandriva -linux-gnu/4.0.1 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i586-mandriva-linux-gnu/4.0.1/../../.. -lgcc_s checking for dummy main to link with Fortran libraries... none checking for Fortran name-mangling scheme... configure: error: cannot compile a s imple Fortran program See `config.log' for more details." I guess this is related to my compiler but I have no clue about how to fix it... Thanks, AB

Hi
I had similar issue which was resolved by ensuring that I have the lib/include folder for readline in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH respectively.
Thanks

Dear members,
this can sound trivial for some people but I don't have experience on
compilation.
I'm trying to install R-2.2.1 on a laptop running Mandriva 2006. I
already installed many of the recommended packages/libraries but it
seems that something is still missing. The problem is that I cannot
identify... Could somebody give me some advise?
I put the output of the command "./configure" bellow. When I tryed to
install the R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm I got:
[root at localhost Download]# rpm -i R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
warning: R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID
6c60ceea
error: Failed dependencies:
info is needed by R-2.0.0-1mdk.i586
[root at localhost Download]#
Thanks in advance,
AB
