It recently came to my attention that my R installation no longer has
tcltk capability.
I can't figure out why or what to do about it.
I built R from source. I configured using the "--with-tcltk" flag. The
build and install *seemed* to go OK, but after realising I didn't have
tcltk capability I looked into config.log.
There I found:
configure:39486: checking for tclConfig.sh
configure:39519: result: no
configure:39528: checking for tclConfig.sh in library (sub)directories
configure:39549: result: no
configure:39561: checking for tkConfig.sh
configure:39594: result: no
configure:39603: checking for tkConfig.sh in library (sub)directories
configure:39624: result: no
configure:39721: checking for tcl.h
conftest.c:249:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
I have tcl and tk (and the -dev versions) installed on my machine, and
they are apparently up-to-date).
Moreover if I do "locate tclConfig.sh" I get:
/usr/lib/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh
And likewise "locate tcl.h" produces:
/usr/include/tcl8.6/tcl.h
/usr/include/tcl8.6/tcl-private/generic/tcl.h
So why can't "configure" find these files, and how can I tell it where
to find them?
I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 and my last install of R was of version 3.4.2.
My installation procedure always worked in the past ....
Thanks for any tips.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
