Hi
I am not able to have a working tcltk library in R-2.2.1 inspite of
trying different options suggested in the FAQ's. I am using the
following configure option and I do get the tcltk package installed but
with a missing libs folder.
./configure -prefix= "~R-2.2.1" --enable-R-shlib --enable-linux-lfs
--with-zlib --with-gnu-ld --with-tcltk
--with-tcl-config="~tcl-8.4.12/lib"
--with-tk-config="~tk-8.4.12/lib"
I have ensured that I have a valid tclsh in my path and have even
provided the include path for covering the tcl.h
Operating system: RHEL
The error I get while trying to invoke the libarary for tcltk is:
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed for 'tcltk'
Execution halted
Any help to identify the cause is highly appreciated.
Respectfully
Gautam

Those don't look like valid paths to config files to me. On FC3 they would be /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh /usr/lib/tkConfig.sh So even if you have users tcl-8.4.12 and tk-8.4.12 (do you?), your paths are almost surely not to config files. Configure reports what works, including that it is not going to build tcl/tk support. Look back at the relevant parts of its output.

I am sorry but I think I didn't do a " reply all", when I replied to Prof. Ripley. I did try what he suggested. I have installed tcl-8.4.12 and tk-8.4.12 in another folder and given explicit path to those lib folders for the tclConfig.sh & tkConfig.sh. I also tried using the /usr/lib tcl/tk installs (version 8.3) and both times I am getting the tcltk package installed in my R version minus the libs folder. bash-2.05b# cd /grid/gro/vol/minigrid/tcl-8.4.12/lib bash-2.05b# ls -ltr total 824 -rw-r--r-- 1 rstat rstat 7381 Feb 2 09:28 tclConfig.sh drwxr-xr-x 8 rstat rstat 1024 Feb 2 09:28 tcl8.4 -rw-rw-r-- 1 rstat rstat 1664 Feb 2 09:28 libtclstub8.4.a -r-xr-xr-x 1 rstat rstat 805566 Feb 2 09:28 libtcl8.4.so bash-2.05b# pwd /grid/gro/vol/minigrid/tk-8.4.12/lib bash-2.05b# ls -ltr total 984 -rw-r--r-- 1 rstat rstat 3816 Feb 3 11:28 tkConfig.sh -rw-rw-r-- 1 rstat rstat 3258 Feb 3 11:28 libtkstub8.4.a -r-xr-xr-x 1 rstat rstat 974048 Feb 3 11:28 libtk8.4.so drwxr-xr-x 5 rstat rstat 2048 Feb 3 11:28 tk8.4 Furthermore, the only warning/error in get out of configure is: R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu Source directory: .
