[R] problem with "history"

[Thomas J Vogels]

Hi, having run into this problem (R's configure not picking up my readline
lib) myself a couple times, I'm wondering whether the 'readline feature'
could be added to the capabilities so that I could do:

> capabilities()['readline']

just like I can do today:

> capabilities()['tcltk']
tcltk
 TRUE

?
Regards,

I tried the latter option and it didn't solve the problem. I really
can't understand what can be the problem. Anyway, I finally managed to
put R to work with the arrow keys by installing the rpm package made for
SuSE Linux 7.2 (from CRAN) instead of building from source.

Thank you very much for your support
