Dear friends, In configuring R 2.4.1 for Solaris 11, using SunStudio 11 compilers, I get the following error. 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 rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for main in -lncurses... no checking for main in -ltermcap... yes checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no checking for history_truncate_file... no configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available I was not able to figure out what readline is about, whether it is optional or not (at some point of the script it seems to be a flag which can be true or false) and was therefore unable to debug it. Thanks for any help you can provide Octavio Tourinho octavio.tourinho at terra.com.br octou at ipea.gov.br
