Dear all,
While running some code requiring the "tcltk" package I have realised
that my
version of R was compiled with the Tcl/Tk libraries included in Fedora 6. It
would be for me better to use the ActiveTcl libraries (which I have
under /usr/local), and I'm aware that this probably means to recompile R
with
the proper configuration variables.
But...is it by any chance possible to "just" recompile the bit
affected by
Tcl/Tk, like, for instance, to install tcltk with some environment variable
pointing at the right ActiveTcl library?
Many thanks for your suggestions and help.

There are obstacles, e.g. that the Makefile in the packages is created from Makefile.in by the toplevel configure script. I.e., better waste some computer resources than your own.> Many thanks for your suggestions and help. > > J >
