10? Aren't they at 15 or 16 by now? I guess you need yum install readline-devel or thereabouts.

Hi, I tried to install R.2.14.1 but when running ./configure command, I got the following error message configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available All checking prior to this error message passed without any problem (see below).
You really should read the R Installation and Administration manual, and for that matter also the posting guide (e.g.: what OS is this? Debian? RedHat? Suse? Slackware?). Most likely you missed the need to install the _developer_ package for readline (called readline-dev or something like that) so that the C header files are not installed. -pd -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Email: pd.mes at cbs.dk Priv: PDalgd at gmail.com
