[R] Previous Commands

[Rau, Roland]

Dear All,

yesterday I took the R-1.8.0-source file and compiled it on my own. As I am
using Linux just for a couple of weeks, it was my first compiling session
with ./configure, make, ....
Everything went fine, except for one thing: if I want to look at the
commands history by using the cursor keys, it does not work. Instead of
displaying the previous commands, it returns something like "[[A".
Is this a common problem?
Does anyone have a solution?

I had R-1.7.1 installed previously via an RPM-package for my Mandrake 9.1
distribution and everything went fine.

Thanks in advance,
ROland
