On an x86 machine operating under Gentoo Linux, I'm having trouble with
tcltk in R-2.6.1 (the latest version available through Gentoo's
emerge/portage system). The problem first came to my attention when
"install.packages("Rmetrics")" produced the following error
message:
Loading required package: tcltk
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
Error: package 'tcltk' could not be loaded
Then I tried "library(tcltk)" and again got the last 3 lines shown
above. Doing "emerge --search tcl" shows that dev-lang/tcl 8.4.18 and
dev-tcltk/tcllib 1.6.1 are installed.
I would be most grateful for suggestions for diagnosing and fixing this
problem.
Best regards,
John
