[R] configure can't find readline -- but it's there!

[Cable, Sam B Civ USAF AFMC AFRL/RVBXI]

Thanks, Marc.  That did it.  I thought "yum provides" would have been
smart enough to tell me about any "devel" package, but I guess I have
something left to learn there.  Thanks.

Hi,

The typical solution would be to install the readline-devel RPM, which
is where the header files, etc. would be available. 

So as root:

  yum install readline-devel

or if you have sudo enabled:

  sudo yum install readline-devel

HTH,
