I am trying to install the latest development version of R so as to be able to perform a package check according the rules specified for CRAN. I performed the following steps: (1) Downloaded R-devel.tar.gz, dated 04-Mar-2016 03:21, from CRAN (2) Upacked. (3) Created directory "BldDir" next to the directory "R-devel". (4) Changed directories to BldDir. (5) Executed ../R-devel/configure --with-tcltk --with-cairo . (6) Executed make . (7) Executed sudo make install . I got the error messages: . . . > mkdir -p -- /usr/local/lib64/R/doc > /usr/bin/ins...

...s of references to LIBnn, but nowhere that its value gets set equal to something.) BTW I (of course) am using the configure file that comes with R-3.4.2; I haven't changed anything. So if anyone looks at the R-3.4.2 configure file they should see exactly what I see. Then I scanned through BldDir/config.log and found: LIBnn='lib64' (on line 19901 !!!) So it would appear that Peter D.'s conjecture is correct. OTOH this is waaayyy after the "checking for tclConfig.sh" business, which happens at about line 15101 of config.log. So how does it have an impact on that?...

...for binaries). It doesn't look too hard to modify configure to also check /usr/lib, but we probably shouldn't do it if one user has shot himself in the foot somehow. -pd > On 19 Nov 2017, at 02:02 , Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote: > > Then I scanned through BldDir/config.log and found: > > LIBnn='lib64' > > (on line 19901 !!!) > > So it would appear that Peter D.'s conjecture is correct. > > OTOH this is waaayyy after the "checking for tclConfig.sh" business, which happens at about line 15101 of config.log....

...oint of order Mr. Chairman. It is completely unfair to say that I shot myself in the foot. I did: sudo apt-get install tcl sudo apt-get install tcl8.6.dev and similarly for tk stuff. I downloaded the source for R-3.4.2 and ran ../R-3.4.2/configure (from a "parallel" directory "BldDir". It stuffed up, apparently being unable to find tclConfig.sh and tkConfig.sh. *After* the stuff-up I put in symbolic links in /usr/lib to these file in the subdirectories (in which apt-get install apparently placed them.) This was done according to a suggestion from Berwin Turlach, who fou...

No bug in R, or Ubuntu, or Debian (which would be cup of tea).

Hum, missed that bit. Looking at the configure script, the only way I can see it failing to look in /usr/lib/tcl8.6 is if ${LIBnn} is not "lib". Any chance it might be set to lib64? -pd > On 18 Nov 2017, at 22:32 , Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote: > > > On 19/11/17 05:36, Albrecht Kauffmann wrote: > >> Did you istall the tcl- and tk-devel

Rolf, looking at the configure script I believe you need to specify --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh and similarly --with-tk-config=<location of tkConfig.sh> HTH, Peter On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 8:43 PM, Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote: > On 18/11/17 17:00, Erin Hodgess wrote: >> >> When I have compiled from sourced on Ubuntu, I did NOT

In the past I have configured without using the "--with-tcltk" flag, and R of course built just fine. But it *did not* have tcltk capability. When I wanted that capability I had to start using the
