[R] problems when compiling package 'norm'

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

See the R-help for yesterday.  You need libreadline-dev or 
libreadline-devel installed, and you must have installed from an rpm
or you could never have got here.  You can go to R_HOME/etc/Makeconf and
delete -lreadline and -lncurses from FLIBS to avoid this.

Also, you are using gcc `2.96' and that is known to be broken in various 
ways, notably with g77.
