Hi All: At the bottom of this email is my sessionInfo and below that there is a command that shows that tcltk is installed and working. My problem is that, when trying to install tkrplot, I get the following error: R CMD INSTALL -l . tkrplot_0.0-24.tar.gz * installing *source* package 'tkrplot' ... ** package 'tkrplot' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating src/Makevars ** libs gcc -std=gnu99 -I"/usr/share/R/include" -DNDEBUG -I/usr/include/tcl8.6 -I/usr/include/tcl8.6 -fpic -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -c tcltkimg.c -o tcltkimg.o tcltkimg.c:3:16: fatal error: tk.h: No such file or directory #include <tk.h> ^ compilation terminated. make: *** [tcltkimg.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package 'tkrplot' * removing '/home/markleeds/research/R/Rlibs/library/tkrplot' * restoring previous '/home/markleeds/research/R/Rlibs/library/tkrplot' :~/research/R/Rlibs/library> Clearly, I must be missing the tk.h file but I don't know where to get it nor where to put it.

All of a sudden, I had the brilliant idea to google and the command below solved the problem. My apologies for noise. sudo apt-get install tk-dev On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 8:06 PM Mark Leeds <markleeds2 at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi All: At the bottom of this email is my sessionInfo and below that > there is a command > that shows that tcltk is installed and working.

My apologies for noise. | | sudo apt-get install tk-dev Still too difficult / laborious. Next time remember to do apt-cache searck tkrplot # or any other search term which would have lead you to r-cran-tkrplot which implies sudo apt install r-cran-tkrplot is all you need. No need for the ballast of two -dev packages, no need to locally compile. There is a reason I packaged this maybe 15 years ago ...
