It looks like you have the i386 RPMs for tcl and tk installed.
You are right. I have both the i386 and x86_64 RPMs installed.
./configure --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib64/tclConfig.sh \
--with-tk-config=/usr/lib64/tkConfig.sh
Thank you! This works like a charm.
At a closer look, R was searching /usr/lib before /usr/lib64 which seems sub-optimal, so I have reversed this (and added /usr/local/lib64 to the list before /usr/local/lib). Nevertheless, for some builds (e.g. 32-bit R on 64-bit Linux) you will need to specify the paths as the manual says.

It is a problem with your particular OS,
You are right. As Martyn suggested, configure picked up
/usr/lib/{tcl,tk}Config.sh instead of /usr/lib64/{tcl,tk}Config.sh
because I have both i386 and x86_64 versions of the RPMs installed.
Unfortunately you have removed the crucial parts of where your configure got the configuration info from.
Typically me! :-) Thanks, both of you! -- Bj?rn-Helge Mevik
