there does not seem to be a package "tcltk" on CRAN for 2.0.0. I have successfully installed the same package for 1.9.1. In essence I require the package for a GUI interface to setwd. All work fine with 1.9.1. This is on a Linux Debian unstable kernel 2.4.20 The build version of R 2.0.0 (issuing version whithin R) has the following platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 0.0 year 2004 month 10 day 04 language R However, the build version of 1.9.1. has the paltform as i386 platform i386-pc-linux-gnu arch i386 os linux-gnu system i386, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 9.1 year 2004 month 06 day 21 language R Thank you for all the help, Jean,

It has never been on CRAN, to my knowledge. See the R FAQ 5.1.1 (as the posting guide suggests). -- Brian D.

Hope this helps, regards, Dirk -- Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others. -- Groucho Marx
