Hi I installed R 2.2.0 from source and I have the packages for tcl and tk installed on my system, but the package tcltk says, when I try to load the library tcltk: Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system. Are there any settings / variables which I have to set so that R recognises that Tcl/Tk support is installed on the system? Rainer -- NEW TELEPHONE NUMBER Tel: +27 - (0)72 808 2975 (w) Rainer M.

i also had a problem getting 2.2.0 to work with tcltk on SuSE 10.0... and with compiling R from source on SuSE 10.0. on getting tcltk to work: i ended up taking source for tcl and tk from http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/ and recompiling; once you unpack the tar.gz the install instructions are in the directory /unix for both programs. after that then> capabilities()shows tcltk is TRUE and it works fine. i'm not sure if this was the easiest solution, but it worked. on getting SuSE 10 to compile R from source: i was unable to use Yast to get a fortran compiler and ended up recompiling gcc to include gfortran from the source (at e.g. http://gcc.fyxm.net/releases/gcc-4.0.2/ ) if you want some more detailed instructions feel free to mail me. best regards and good luck. ---- Katharine Mullen Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty of Sciences Vrije Universiteit de Boelelaan 1081 1081 HV Amsterdam The Netherlands room: T.1.06 tel: +31 205987870 fax: +31 205987992 e-mail: kate at nat.vu.nl http://www.nat.vu.nl/~kate/
