Hi Davide,

did you check the R Installation and Administration Manual?
In Section A.2.1 you will find some more information.

Make sure that you have the 'dev' packages installed of tcl8.x and tk8.x.

If you don't know where 'tclConfig.sh' and 'tkConfig.sh' are located, just find them:
locate tclConfig.sh
locate tkConfig.sh

now you will know the path to those two files.
All you need to do now is (in the correct directory of course):
./configure --with-tcl-config=/my/path/to/tclConfig.sh
        --with-tk-config=/my/path/to/tkConfig.sh
make
etc.

I hope this helps,
Roland

Dear all,
I have installed R on Linux/Ubuntu 8.04. When I try to load the tcltk
package, I get the response:

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'

In order to solve this problem, I try to:
1. To download the tcl and the tk packages (version: 8.5) from
http://www.tcl.tk and to install them (the -dev packages also), but the
error hold over.
2. To install the previous releases (version: 8.4) for these packages. The
error hold over.
3. To set the environment variables 'TCL_LIBRARY' and 'TK_LIBRARY', in this
mode:
TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.5 *  (or 8.4)*
TK_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/tk8.5           *(or 8.4)*
but the error hold over.
4.Therefore, after this modifications, i uninstalled R and I installed again
it. I try to do this both without setting environment variables and setting
it. The error hold over.
I look for a solution.

Thank you

Davide Massidda
