I use Mac. I installed R with the download from R-project, so R is in /usr/bin/R. My TclTk library is installed via fink (although I don't remember I intentionally installed it) so libtk8.4.dylib is in /sw/lib.
I tried to install the HDF5 package from within R: >install.packages('hdf5') and it failed like this ------- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/ Resources/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so': dlcompat: dyld: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/R can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libtk8.4.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk' ------- Apparently R looks for libtk8.4.dylib in /usr/local/lib and doesn't know it's in / sw/lib. How can I tell R about this? Also, I tried installing the downloaded source with >R CMD INSTALL hdf5_1.6.0.tar.gz and it failed because the 'configure' script of the package failed. Anybody had experience with this? If I can install with 'R CMD INSTALL', that's also good enough. Thanks.
