This is covered in the "R Installation and Administration" manual. You need to specify the location of your tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh files.

I tried reinstalling R from source using ./configure make and although the installation went fine I received the same errors. Typing rpm -qa|grep tcl returns: tclx-8.3.5-4 tcl-8.4.7-2 tcl-8.4.7-2 Typing rpm -qa|grep tk returns: gtkspell-2.0.7-2 atk-1.8.0-2 gtk+-1.2.10-33 gtk2-2.4.13-22 authconfig-gtk-4.6.10-rhel4.3 gtkhtml2-2.6.2-1 gtk-engines-0.12-6.el4 tk-8.4.7-2 gtksourceview-1.1.0-4 gtk-engines-0.12-6.el4 tk-8.4.7-2 gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.6.0-3 gtkglarea-1.2.2-16 gtk2-engines-2.2.0-7.el4 gtkhtml3-3.3.2-6.EL usermode-gtk-1.74-1 atk-1.8.0-2 gtk2-2.4.13-22 pygtk2-libglade-2.4.0-1 gtk+-1.2.10-33 gtkhtml2-2.6.2-1 pygtk2-2.4.0-1 So it seems that tcl and tk are present on the system. I saw a post suggesting that I may need some development packages? What is a good place to find these packages? I am running R version 2.5.1 on a Linux machine running Redhat Enterprise 3. Let me know if you need any more info on the operating system and if there are any ideas on how to resolve these issues.
