Attachments are chopped by the mailing list softare, and the r-devel
list would have been a better choice.

Anyways, the error is what it says: You are trying to use the readline
library and it or its headers isn't there (at least not where configure
looks for it). So either install them or use --with-readline=no and live
without commandline recall. This is explained  at a number of places in
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html (search for "readline").
