Operating system is Debian lenny/sid: $ uname -a Linux meta 2.6.22 #2 Mon Oct 22 09:58:25 CEST 2007 i686 GNU/Linux I now "fixed" this with a symbolic link from /usr/local/lib/tcltk/ (were R (?) looks for the Tcl/TK libs) to /usr/lib/ were the Tcl/Tk libs are. I wait until tk8.4 package from Debian unstable is in testing, because sometimes unstable is really unstable...
