error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available

问题:

I am installing R. I am getting this error when runing ./configure :

checking for history_truncate_file... no configure: error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available 

Any hint, Thanks

回答1:

Use the following command will solve this problem

./configure --with-readline=no --with-x=no 

--with-x=no turns off the X Windows System . It is the GUI for the Linux and Unix-like OS. My computer has no X Windows installed, so I turn off.
But I highly recommand to install readline library before R installtion with '--with-readline=yes', as the command operation style is quitely unfriendly with '--with-readline=no' . See more libreadline installation in linux for more details

you can use the following command for more install configuration details

./configure --help

on I found problem on compiling R 3.1.1 so as a part of solution , i recommend to install the below libraries first before you compile this R and use

sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install fort77 sudo apt-get install xorg-dev sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev  libblas-dev gfortran sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib sudo apt-get install gobjc++ sudo apt-get install aptitude sudo aptitude install libreadline-dev 

Thank you other people who posted and kept the knowledge going..

I think you need the GNU readline package. You can install it with apt-get, aptitude, or the appropiate tool for your distribution. In Ubuntu:

aptitude install libreadline-dev

On Linux version 2.6.18-371.3.1.el5 (centos) the following worked for me

yum install readline-devel  

and use --with-x=no in configure option as mentioned by others

On Centos 7, building R-3.5.0, If you want to install in /data/R-3.0.5.

wget https://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/src/base/R-3/R-3.5.0.tar.gz tar -zxvf R-3.5.0.tar.gz cd R-3.5.0.tar.gz mkdir -p /data/R-3.0.5    yum group install "Development tools" -y yum install readline-devel -y yum install xorg-x11-server-devel libX11-devel libXt-devel -y yum yum install libbz2-devel -y yum install lzma -y yum install xz xz-devel -y yum install pcre pcre-devel -y yum install libcurl-devel -y yum install texinfo -y yum install texinfo-tex -y yum install texlive -y yum install texlive-fonts-extra -y yum install levien-inconsolata-fonts -y yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk -y  ./configure --prefix=/data/R-3.0.5 '--with-cairo' \ '--with-jpeglib' '--with-readline' '--with-tcltk' \ '--with-blas' '--with-lapack' '--enable-R-profiling' \ '--enable-R-shlib' \ '--enable-memory-profiling'  make make install
