troubles installing R

I am trying to install R on a pretty up-to-date CentOS system. I have tried installing 2.14.0 and 2.13.2. In both cases, the configure step fails, and does not produce a Makefile. So, of course, I can't issue "make". The errors that I can find in config.log are, first, several missing files: ac_nonexistent.h, minix/config.h., readline/history.h, and readline/readline.h. Then, what seems to finally bring configure to a halt is the final error: configure:20796: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
Hi, It seems that the header files/libs are not available... You probably need to install some development libraries from the CentOS repositories. like readline-dev or such. Installing these libraries and the header files will be available. regards, Paul
After this error, configure dumps long lists of shell variables, output variables, and confdefs.h -- none of which tell a whole lot, as far as I can see -- and then exits with a status of "1". Anyone know what this means? I can give bigger snippets of the config.log, if anyone wants to see them. I have installed R on several Linux machines. This is the first time I've been stumped. Thanks. --Sam
