--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
