Well, the package is there, as a stub to tell you that it doesn't work.... > I have the same problem even if i compile with options: > ./configure --with-tcltk --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh > --with-tk-config=/usr/lib/tkConfig.sh In both cases, do check the configure output for clues. > Is there a dep for R 2.2.1 on a specific version of tcl? Any hints on > this issue appreciated. Anything later than 8.1 or so should work. Some old versions had bugs in tclConfig.sh/tkConfig.sh which didn't quite give out enough info to tell configure where to find the include files and libraries. I'm not quite sure when that was, but we're up to 8.4.9 now and tcl/tk has a notoriously slow release cycle, so 8.3.5 sound quite ancient > running on linux (2.4.21-4) version: Of which distribution? > rpm -qa | grep tcl > tcl-devel-8.3.5-92 > tcl-8.3.5-92 and "rpm -qa | grep tk" says what? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
