Thanks. OK, I get
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/r-svn-test --cache-file=config.cache
STRIP=true && make -j8
...
checking for Fortran flag to compile .f95 files... none
checking for gfortran option to support OpenMP... -fopenmp
checking for recommended packages... ls: cannot access
'./src/library/Recommended/MASS_*.tar.gz': No such file or directory
no
configure: error: Some of the recommended packages are missing
Use --without-recommended-packages if this was intentional
However, when I configure --without-recommended-packages and make
install, the build works and both Readline issues are fixed in the
result.
Thank you!
