I think that I have successfully installed libreadline.so.6. But still got an error -- libreadline.so.6 needed during R installation on SUSE Linux.
help is really appreciated! =============================== # ls -lt /usr/local/lib total 4088 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168858 Oct 18 07:15 libhistory.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 18 07:15 libhistory.so -> libhistory.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 18 07:15 libhistory.so.6 -> libhistory.so.6.0 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 110410 Oct 18 07:15 libhistory.so.6.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1149336 Oct 18 07:15 libreadline.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 18 07:15 libreadline.so -> libreadline.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 18 07:15 libreadline.so.6 -> libreadline.so.6 .0 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 674459 Oct 18 07:15 libreadline.so.6.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 166578 Oct 18 06:43 libhistory.old lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 18 06:43 libhistory.so.5 -> libhistory.so.5.2 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 109183 Oct 18 06:43 libhistory.so.5.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1111532 Oct 18 06:43 libreadline.old lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Oct 18 06:43 libreadline.so.5 -> libreadline.so.5 .2 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 650223 Oct 18 06:43 libreadline.so.5.2 # ls -lt /usr/local/lib64 total 1328 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 674459 Oct 18 07:19 libreadline.so.6 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 674459 Oct 18 07:19 libreadline.so.6.0 # ldd /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff74957000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f295027f000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f295082b000) # zypper install R-base Retrieving repository 'R10.1-base' metadata [error] Repository 'R10.1-base' is invalid.
