R SIG Debian - Dec 2008 - tcltk

(Another question about my incomplete configuration.)

I thought I had everything working with my Ubuntu 8.10 64bit, but I 
still seem to be missing tcl/tk:

 > require("tcltk")
Loading required package: tcltk
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
   Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system


Synaptic shows tcl and tk both installed, and I have r-base and 
r-base-dev installed.  How do I find what is missing?

Thanks,
Paul

Did you build R by hand?  The prebuild packages have working tcltk:

deddelbuettel at ....:~$ echo "capabilities()"|R --slave
    jpeg      png     tiff    tcltk      X11     aqua http/ftp  sockets
    TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE    FALSE     TRUE     TRUE
  libxml     fifo   cledit    iconv      NLS  profmem    cairo
    TRUE     TRUE    FALSE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE     TRUE

amd64, Ubuntu intrepid, Ubuntu R binaries from CRAN.
