The installation of R I'm using (R 1.2.0 on Redhat Linux (R-base-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm)) apparently expects to find tcl in ./share/tcl8.0, ./share/tcl8.0 or /usr/local/share/tcl8.0:> library (tcltk)Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: ./share/tcl8.0 ./share/tcl8.0 /usr/local/share/tcl8.0 However, tcl is installed in /usr/lib/tcl8.0 on my machine. Is there a way to tell R or tcltk where tcl is located? (I'm sorry if this is a faq -- I've gone through all documentation I've found, but I still couldn't find out about it.) -- Bj?rn-Helge Mevik <bhm at math.uio.no> -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

It's not supposed to happen... Does your .rpm match your RedHat version? You might consider getting a recent version off of CRAN or compiling from sources. It might also work to set the environment variable TCL_LIBRARY to the proper location on your system. In either case it would be good for us to know the origin of your setup in case anyone else gets in trouble. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
