Thanks for your prompt responses. I will take a look at the R
Installation and Administration manual. Where can I obtain the tcl-devel
and tk-devel files?
They are RedHat RPMs.
Thanks,
Mike

This is covered in the "R Installation and

files.
And he will not have those. He needs tcl-devel and tk-devel
installed, and then (as this is a RedHat/Fedora system) the
tclConfig.sh etc will be found by configure (for R, and for some of
the packages).
tcltk2 is mentioned. That need Tcl/Tk extensions that I have failed
to get to work correctly with on F8: it is a path issue with where
the Fedora packages install the extensions.

Subject: [R] Tcl\tk not supported on this system
trying to install the pbatR package, I was greeted with the
error
Error: package 'tcltk' does not have a name space
Execution halted
Directly installing the package tcltk2 returned the following
error:
Loading required package: tcltk
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
I have seen from previous posts that tcl/tk must be present
when R is
installed.
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.
Thanks,
Michael Gormley
