Hello useRs!
 
 I'm REALLY having trouble with readline when compiling R. 2.2 from source   during ./configure.
 Here are the last lines of the configure log:
 
 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
 checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no
 checking for main in -lncurses... no
 checking for main in -ltermcap... no
 checking for main in -ltermlib... no
 checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... no
 checking for history_truncate_file... no
 configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
 
 I'm on a ASUS W2V laptop (Chipset 915PM), on Mandriva 2005LE distro, libreadline5  and readline5-devel installed.
 
 I managed to get it compiled and installed  using option --with-readline=no. However, as I use R dayly, I'd like to get a functional terminal again....
 
 Can I do something to fix this, is it a configure script error or should I just change distro? :))
 
 The R.2.0 rpm for mandrake installs ok.
 
 here the location of my libreadline files
 /usr/lib/libreadline.a
 /usr/lib/libreadline.so
 /lib/libreadline.so.5
 /lib/libreadline.so.5.0
 /lib/libreadline.so
 
  CheeRs!
 
 Pedro
