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

I am trying to install RHadoop. I have used following instruction in a Virtual box Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit version. $wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/r-base/2.15.1-3ubuntu1/+files/r-base_2.15.1.orig.tar.gz

$ tar -zxvf r-base_2.15.1.orig.tar.gz
$ sudo apt-get install gfortran
$ cd R-2.15.1/
$ ./configure --with-x=no

When I run this command, I get the error mentioned above. Google also does not have any suggestions for this error although many talk about X11

For Centos 7, to install X11

# yum install xorg-x11-server-devel libX11-devel libXt-devel

Now ./configure

Setting readline to no is something I considered, but than think of this, what if you need it. I am not even sure what it is 100%, but I assume it lets R read from user input of some sort.

Anyways, I just resolved this error by installing readline-devel on centos via yum. On debian I think it's something like libreadline-dev. The point is that you need development files which include .h files necessary for R.

Readline is a GNU package that you can find here; your first option consists in installing it before trying to build R again.

Alternatively, if you are sure you do not need R to be built with this library, you can simply set with-readline to "no":

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