R help - May 2003 - Tkrplot works not

Hi,

I've spent some time in programming R - tcl/tk. 
Today I've updated my R version from 1.6.2 to 1.7.0. 
My programm stops now with two error-messages: 
(How could it be, two errors? The command "stop" produces an error but
does really stop
the programm after it, isn't it?)

The library tkrplot is installed! I used it under version 1.6.2 several times.

In the "Windows-specific changes to R" on CRAN I've seen that:

"Tcl/Tk 8.4.1 is bundled in rw1070.exe.  You can still use your own
installation of Tcl/Tk: see the rw-FAQ."

So, I uninstall my tcl-version. But there are still the same errors.  

Why couldn't R load the tkrplot-library?


Thanks for your help and please don't look at my english (it's terrible)

Did you re-install it after the upgrade to 1.7.0?  It might be there
were some changes necessary.  I'd suggest reinstalling it from CRAN,
and you'll get the appropriate version.

I just tried this in the 1.7.0 patched version, and everything worked
fine.
