In order for R to build with tcltk support, the tcl/tk development
packages need to be available when R is configured. This command
apt-get install tcl8.5-dev tk8.5-dev
will install the necessary development packages, but you'll need to
reconfigure and rebuild R in order to get tcltk support,

Rolf,
What does
capabilities("tcltk")
return?
FALSE
I believe R needs to be compiled with tcltk support for the package to
work. Do
you compile your own version or use a package manager (e.g., on Ubuntu)?
If you
have TCL/TK installed in a "standard" location, all should be well I think.
I installed R from source; couldn't figure out how to get a Ubuntu binary.
I forget the details (it was a while ago) but nothing seemed to work.
I think I have the tcl/tk stuff in a ``standard location'':
/usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so.0
/usr/lib/libtcl8.5.so.0
/usr/lib/libtk8.4.so.0
/usr/lib/libtk8.5.so.0
/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4
/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.5
/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.4
/usr/share/tcltk/tk8.5
See:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Tcl_002fTk
On my Ubuntu machine, I have both the "tcl" and the "tk" packages installed
through Synaptic (the package manager).
I don't grok ``Synaptic''. I have installed various stuff using
``sudo apt-get install ....'' --- that's about as far as my capabilities
extend.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
