[R] Installing splancs_2.01-9 on Red Hat Linux 7.3

[Steve Kembel]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the splancs contributed package on a Redhat 7.3
system with R 1.5.1 installed. I've installed the readline41-4.1-10 RPM
which Redhat requires for R and it works great, thanks very much.

However, when I attempt to R CMD INSTALL splancs_2.01-9.tar.gz as root,
I get the following error message during the install:
[snip]
g77   -fPIC  -O2 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce -g -c weight.f -o weight.o

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [splancs.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'splancs'

I'm using g77 0.5.26 and gcc 2.96 if that makes any difference. Anyone
else experience this problem with Redhat 7.x? I would greatly appreciate
any suggestions.

Cheers,
Steve
