[Rd] compile and install R @ one user defined directory? (PR#13779)

[xwu at epsilon.com]

Dear Helper,

Under UNIX "Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a SPARC" and with following "R Installa=
tion and Administration" @ http://cran.r-project.org/,

First, I unzipped the unix version winzip source code R-2.9.0.tar.gz  using=
 following commands at my own dir:

              /home/xwu/R1>gzip -dc R-2.9.0.tar.gz | tar xvf -
             (a subdir  /home/xwu/R1R-2.9.0/ was created successfully under=
 /home/xwu/R1)

Then I go to /home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0 to compilation and installation using fol=
lowing command:

            /home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0> ./configure --prefix=3D/home/xwu/R1/R-2.9=
.0

The error comes:
        configure: error: --with-readline=3Dyes (default) and headers/libs =
are not available


is there something error? or should I add more env shell variable? or shoul=
d I continue to move on by typing?

    make prefix=3D/home/xwu/R1/R-2.9.0       install


Thanks,

Xuanfu
