Hi, I have installed R1.6.2 on a Sun Sparc workstatioin 60 under Solaris 8. I' m using csh, tcsh or bash- shell. Unfortunately, it is impossible to use the "arrow-up" key on Sun's German keyboard to repeat a R command by using this key. Always following syntax error occurs: ^[[A Does anybody have a hint ?

Do you have libreadline installed? Was it found when you configured R? I can't speak for your keyboard, but ESC[A is the `raw' sequence generated by the up-arrow key on an English Sun keyboard, and what you show is what happens if readline is not compiled into R.

A hint, yes. You may not have the readline library installed. This is discussed in the installation notes. Whether this is the problem, I do not know. Jon
Hi, I remember having the same problem when I tried to install a personal version on our Sun Solaris 8 system. As readline was not in my search paths the command line editing did not work. I do the following before calling configure and make: # Readline related stuff needed by [R] (readline is required for # the command line history in [R] to work). # C.f. R-FAQ: "7.22 How can I get command line editing to work?" # and "R Installation and Administration" on www.r-project.org # Library path to 'libreadline.*'. Don't forget the prefix '-L' LIBS=-L/usr/common2/appjoa/lib.sun4 export LIBS # Source path to 'readline.h' etc. Don't forget the prefix '-I' CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/common2/appjoa/include export CPPFLAGS Maybe this is what you are missing Henrik Bengtsson
