[R] Running R [Broadcast]

[Liaw, Andy]

You have two choices (AFAIK): 
 
1.  Tell configure exactly where to find the readline header files (by
something like --with-readline=/where/the/files/are, check configure
--help).
 
2.  Compile R without readline; i.e., configure --with-readline=no.

--One suggestion was to install readline-devel. But according to the below I

already have readline-devel. 

# find . -iname readline-devel\* 
 find -iname readline-devel\* 
./os/4.1/x86_64/RedHat/RPMS/readline-devel-4.3-13.x86_64.rpm 

#rpm -ivh readline*.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### 
[100%] 
        package readline-4.3-13 is already installed 

Once you've found an RPM, to install it on the frontend, just type 
  
# rpm -ivh filename.rpm 

------------- 

   1. tar -zxvf R-2.3.0.tar.gz 
   2. changed the directory to the newly created directory R-2.3.0 
   3. Typed ./configure 
  
  
  
   4. Typed make 
   make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop. 
   I cannot run make. Please let me know. 
   
   *5. Make check 
   *6. make check-all 
   *7. Typed make install 
   *8. Typed R
