Thanks for the tip. I thought that 'Base' files were installed already but I know better now. Unfortunately, I'm still not up and running yet. Since I don't have access to the subject machine at the moment, I'll be even more vague than usual.
I installed the development versions of tcltk and specified the locations for the *.sh files, the *.h files, and both of the individual directories in /usr/lib. Based on my reading of one of the *.sh files, it looks like I can specify multiple directories for a configuration variable by putting them in quotes and leaving a space in between like 'path1 path2'. My reward was that ./configure didn't complain about searching for any tcltk files and I got the clear message that R couldn't compile/link to tcltk. Hmph. <grin> Next steps when I get home tonight: (a) Replace library locations in /usr/lib with those in /usr/share (b) Include all four library locations (c) Wait until Fedora Core 4 comes out in a couple of weeks, wipe my drive, and start all over again. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.
