Hello! I'm trying to install R-1.9.1a with readline on Suse Linux. As
recommended in other posts, I've installed readline and readline-devel:

 

kevin@redtail:~/R-1.9.1> rpm -qa | grep readline

readline-devel-32bit-9.0-0

readline-32bit-9.0-0

readline-4.3-207

readline-devel-4.3-207

 

Then I run configure with readline:

 

./configure --with-readline

 

The relevant lines are:

 

kevin@redtail:~/R-1.9.1> ./configure --with-readline | grep readline

checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no

checking readline/history.h usability... yes

checking readline/history.h presence... yes

checking for readline/history.h... yes

checking readline/readline.h usability... yes

checking readline/readline.h presence... yes

checking for readline/readline.h... yes

 

In config.log all readline tests pass except this one:

 

configure:21277: checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline

configure:21307: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/local/include

Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can provide.
