Hi guys,
Perhaps someone here can help.
I am trying to build versions of R 1 for the rcheology package (just
arrived on CRAN).
For R prior to 1.5.0, I cannot configure support for tcl-tk.
I am building on Debian Woody (provided by Docker debian/eol) and have the
following packages installed:
r-base-dev tclx8.3-dev tk8.3-dev xvfb xbase-clients x-window-system-core
I download R source from http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-1 and run
./configure --with-tcl-tk=yes
--with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tcl8.3/tclConfig.sh
--with-tk-config=/usr/lib/tk8.3/tkConfig.sh
These are the locations for the relevant tkConfig.sh and tclConfig.sh files.
This gives output as follows:
R is now configured for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Source directory: .
Installation directory: /usr/local
C compiler: gcc -g -O2
C++ compiler: c++ -g -O2
FORTRAN compiler: g77 -g -O2
X11 support: yes
Gnome support: no
Tcl/Tk support: no
R profiling support: yes
R as a shared library: no
And config.log reveals:
configure:13099: checking for /usr/lib/tcl8.3/tclConfig.sh
configure:13134: checking for /usr/lib/tk8.3/tkConfig.sh
configure:13204: checking for /usr/include/tcl8.3/tcl.h
configure:13214: gcc -E -I/usr/local/include conftest.c >/dev/null
2>conftest.out
configure:13313: checking for /usr/include/tk8.3/tk.h
configure:13323: gcc -E -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/include
/tcl8.3 conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:13319: /usr/include/tk8.3/tk.h: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 13318 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include </usr/include/tk8.3/tk.h>
configure:13348: checking for /usr/include/tk.h
configure:13358: gcc -E -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
-I/usr/include
/tcl8.3 conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:13354: /usr/include/tk.h: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 13353 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include </usr/include/tk.h>
configure:13385: checking for tk.h
configure:13389: tk.h: No such file or directory
In fact, tk.h is in /usr/include/tcl8.3/ , despite the failed program
compilation report.
R 1.5.0 and above work fine. Can anyone remember far back, if something
changed in the configure script?
Alternatively, those who are feeling brave can download the Docker image
creation scripts from github.com/hughjonesd/rcheology .
Cheers,
David

Have you considered the actual Debian packages from "way back then" ? Debian has this nifty snapshot archive where you can get old binaries: http://snapshot.debian.org/ For (source package) r-base we see 3.5.1 all the way down to 0.61.2 http://snapshot.debian.org/package/r-base/ Alternatively, the package itself is now (finally, my bad) in a git repo which goes back to 0.61.2 as well (using snapshot as the feeder) https://salsa.debian.org/edd/r-base/commits/master Hth, Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | edd at debian.org
Thanks for the tip. That could be a huge timesaver. But it lists only a single package for versions 0.90.1-2 ... how does that work?
