Perhaps I'm being even thicker than usual, but I can't find the tcltk package on CRAN. There is a tcltk2 package, which says that it is a collection of supplements to tcltk, but I cannot see a just-plain tcltk anywhere. If I try to install tcltk2 (from the Linux command line, or using install.packages() in R) it complains that it needs tcltk. If I try to install tcltk using

Hi R-devel, tcltk devel, and sqldf devel, The transcript below shows how loading the tcl/tk library in under R causes subprocesses to ignore SIGPIPE. I am including the developer of the (wonderful) sqldf package since it requires tcltk and you might like to make this dependence optional to the user (at least until this is fixed in tcltk). Am I mistaken in calling this a 'bug'? Any

Dear R-devel: Would R core team consider endorsing a graphical toolkit and trying to facilitate development of little GUI tools? I need a gui matrix editor for users that want to be able to write matrices that are later used to simulate data. Instead of teaching them to write a covariance matrix (for example, for mvtnorm), I want to tell them run a function that pops up a table they can fill

Hi, I am getting the follwoing error while installing gsubfn_0.6-4.tar.gz library for R.

It turns out that the behavior of starting just Tcl was actually a bug. Apparently the intention was to attempt to start Tk regardless of the DISPLAY variable, because some TclTk implementation such as Aqua Tcl/Tk don't require DISPLAY and thus would not be loaded. Due to a bug (HAVE_AQUA was not included in Rconfig.h before R 2.7.0), though, this was not the case. I'll leave it

Hi, Having trouble loading tcltk in R 2.2.1 built from source. ./configure, make, make check, and make install run ok. > library(tcltk) Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed for 'tcltk' even though it is listed in library() output.

There are quite a few packages that make use of tcltk and although - most R distributions have tcltk capability - its possible to query this via capabilities()[["tcltk"]] - attempting to build a package that needs it on such an R distribution will give a message letting one know users still seem to have problems with this. There was recently an R bug report submitted that likely
