The OS is fedora 10. It's also a 32-bit architecture.

Best,

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.
