Do you need R.app?  If not, I would recommend using ActiveTcl Tcl/Tk by e.g.

./configure ...
--with-tcl-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh
--with-tk-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh

I don't have (Tcl|Tk).framework in /Library/Frameworks.  I seem to
recall they were there in earlier versions of the OS.

On my system, that is where ActiveTcl installed. Even when Apple shipped an Aqua Tcl/Tk, it was old and limited and ActiveTcl is quite way to get a pre-compiled current version.

I did some more investigation.  Following a suggestion on Stack overflow I did
   sudo ln -s /opt/X11/include/X11 /usr/include
and that suddenly gave me tcltk capabilities.  To be honest, I don't
understand why. I use
   --X-Includes=/Usr/X11/Include --X-Libraries=/Usr/X11/Lib

If you use /Usr then it may well not work. These tools are case-sensitive ....

in my configure script so I don't fully understand why the presence of
this symbolic link fixes it.  But it is an empirical fact it does....

I've been using it for some time, and it has much nicer ttk widgets.

I now want to get tcltk support working under ML (because I need to
test a few packages).

I have installed Xquartz and I have just install the new tcltk 8.5.5
from CRAN (which is not signed btw).

Running configure, I get

So it seems to find tcltk.  I get a few warnings when it checks for X11
headers:

checking X11/Intrinsic.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: X11/Intrinsic.h: accepted by the compiler,
rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: X11/Intrinsic.h: proceeding with the compiler's result

and

checking X11/Xmu/Atoms.h presence... no
configure: WARNING: X11/Xmu/Atoms.h: accepted by the compiler,
rejected by the preprocessor!
configure: WARNING: X11/Xmu/Atoms.h: proceeding with the compiler's result

I assume these are unrelated.  Although configure seems to find tcltk,
at the end of configure, I get

R is now configured for x86_64-apple-darwin12.1.0

    Options enabled:           R profiling, memory profiling, Java

    Recommended packages:      yes

which does not mention tcltk support under 'Interfaces supported'.

This used to work on Lion, and I am wondering what I am doing wrong.


I think you should be wondering what Apple is doing wrong ....  But you need
to look in config.log to find the root cause.


My configure script is

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
../${SRCDIR}/configure SHELL='/bin/bash' \
    --prefix=/usr/local/R/R-${R_VERSION} --disable-R-framework\
    CC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99" \
    CFLAGS="-g -O2 -std=gnu99 -march=nocona" \
    CXX="/usr/bin/g++-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
    CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
    OBJC="/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
    F77="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
    FFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \
    FC="/usr/bin/gfortran-4.2 -arch x86_64" \
    FCFLAGS="-g -O2 -march=nocona" \

    --X-Includes=/Usr/X11/Include --X-Libraries=/Usr/X11/Lib\

    --with-blas='-framework vecLib' --with-lapack
