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....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
