error: --with-readline=yes (default) and headers/libs are not available
installation, r
Solution
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
Problem
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
