So your R installation on your unstated OS is incomplete/corrupt.

It looks like this is OS X, so:

- wrong list (use R-sig-mac)
- you need to tell the correct list a lot more, including the 'at a 
minimum' information asked for in the R posting guide (see below), and 
how you installed R.
- a possible answer is to install 
http://r.research.att.com/src/readline-5.2.tar.gz : see the OS X 
documentation.
