I'm having some issues trying to compile R-devel on Ubuntu 14.04.
library("tcltk") works fine on the version of R as installed from
Debian packages; I've done "apt-get build-dep r-base" so I think I
have all the tcltk libraries I need installed ... (and going back to
things like apt-get tcl-dev and apt-get tk-dev confirms that they're
really there ...)
When I configure and build R without doing anything special, tcltk
is not found and capabilities()["tcltk"] is FALSE. I modified
config.site as follows:
## Use TCLTK_LIBS for all '-L' and '-l' options needed for
linking
TCLTK_LIBS="-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
## Use TCLTK_CPPFLAGS for all '-I' options needed for finding the tcl.h
TCLTK_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/tcl"
This makes capabilities()["tcltk"] TRUE, but trying
library("tcltk")
still returns
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
call: fun(libname, pkgname)
error: Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
Any more suggestions on troubleshooting/diagnosing? I'm not sure
what I should be telling R to look for ...
thanks
Ben Bolker
PS (I chose /usr/lib/x86_64-linux_gnu for TCLTK_LIBS because that's
where the tcl libraries seem to be located ...
ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcl*

Ben,
At work with little time so _real brief_:
-- we build r-devel "all the time", in fact nightly for rocker; and
there
are Dockerfiles to look at
-- we build R all the time in Debian, Ubuntu, ... and my sources for that
are not on GH but you can fetch the diff.gz
-- there is an entire list dedicated to this: r-sig-debian so could you
pretty-please post there (after registering, if needed)
I'll be glad to help, preferably on r-sig-debian.
Cheers, Dirk

False alarm. Completely wiping out my build directory followed by
../R-devel/configure --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh
- --with-tk-config=/usr/lib/tkConfig.sh; make
seems to work. (My fault for assuming repeated cycles of
./configure; make would actually do the right thing ...)
There seems to be a corollary of Clarke's Law ("any sufficient
advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic") that says that
any sufficiently complex software system may *not* be magic, but it's
just easier to treat it as though it is ...
Thanks for the offer of help ...
Ben
