So this is a Windows computer. You need Tcl/Tk 8.4.x, not 8.5.0 (which is later than the current R release), and you need to read the rw-FAQ (which is on the Rgui Help menu) Q4.6 and set the variables it tells you about (or compile R from the sources yourself after configuring it to use 8.5.x). BTW, the message is wrong: R comes with complete Tcl/Tk libraries, just not all third-party addons. I am Cc:ing the package maintainer to ask him to correct this. > Nonetheless, when I try running the oneChannelGUI I get an error message > starting off like this: > > Cannot find Tcl/Tk package "BWidget". affylmGUI cannot continue. > > affylmGUI requires the Tcl/Tk extensions, BWidget and Tktable. > > You must have Tcl/Tk installed on your computer, not just the minimal > Tcl/Tk installation which comes with R (for Windows).
