similar to: installing R-2.1.0 from source on Fedora Core 3 with tclt k

I installed from source on Fedora Core 3 starting with the command ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-tcltk (The --with-tcltk may not be necessary, but there seems to be some correlation between using it and getting it to work.) It would not compile with tcltk, even though I had both tcl and tk rpms installed. Various fooling around let me to get

Hi, I'm developing an R/TclTk application which uses the BWidget and Tktable Tk extensions and I'm trying to make it easy to install. For now, I'm focusing on Windows users who start with nothing. I have built Tcl/Tk and Tktable for windows using Msys/MinGW. (BWidget contains only Tcl scripts so does not need building.) I have then copied Tktable and BWidget into the lib subdirectory

Hola! I'm trying to make r-devel on windows XP. I downloaded an hour ago R-1.7.0beta_2003-03-30.tar.gz make terminates without any error messages, with make check I get error messages from tests of internet and socket functions, surely because my modem was not connected (It doesn't say in the documentation (file INSTALL) that internet must be connected under make check.) But the file

Hello... Curious to know whether the TK extensions “Tktable” and “Iwidgets” will be included in future versions of R (full installation). These are key components of GUI construction and would be very useful in my current R-tcltk endeavors. I realize that I could just install a version of ActiveTcl, which includes the extensions; however, my goal is to eventually distribute my work keeping

Hello all, I noticed that both Windows and OS X version of R have a GUI (Rconsole). Is there a GUI for Linux? I'm running Debian on which the CLI for R works just fine. Regards, - Robert

In trying to run John Fox's new Rcmdr package on Redhat Linux 9, I got this error message. The problem is in loading the tclck library. library(tcltk) produces the same error. It has been discussed before, e.g., http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/11898.html but with respect to earlier versions of Linux and R. I tried updating to the latest RPMs of tcl and tk (8.3.5-89), but that

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 Folks, Sorry to bring up this kind of issue (though any discussion may help some other people). I've just installed Red Hat 9 Linux (opting for GNOME) and now want to install R. I downloaded the RPM for Red Hat 9 from CRAN (as well as the patched readline). Attempting to install ( rpm -i R-1.7.1-1.i386.rpm ) I get, pretty quickly, the following: warning: R-1.7.1-1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA

Hello All, I have a Linux computer and do all of my work from it. However, I teach also, which means that many of my students use windows. Hence, I need to create packages that work under windows as well as Linux.
