R help - Feb 2006 - install.packages() failed

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.

Hello All,

I am having trouble with installing the latest R on AIX 5.3, I can't  
even configure.

Has anyone installed R-2.3.1 on AIX 5.3 using the native complier 
(xlc_r)?
If so would you send which flags and options did you use?

Thanks,

Kamil
