[Fwd: problems installing rjags | tcltk]

Quick followup. Confirmed that TCl/Tk are both installed on the machine 
(they are, in both 32- and 64-bit flavours), as are all tcl and 
tk-related libs, devel packages, and about everything else I could find.

It occurred to me that perhaps the R I compiled isn't 'tcltk' aware. I 
checked the config.log, and there is some hint that this might be the 
case. Just before ## File substitutions ## I see

use_tcltk='no'

Further upstream in the config.log, I see

configure:42914: checking for tcl.h
conftest.c:204:17: error: tcl.h: No such file or directory   

and

ac_cv_env_TCLTK_CPPFLAGS_set=
ac_cv_env_TCLTK_CPPFLAGS_value=
ac_cv_env_TCLTK_LIBS_set=
ac_cv_env_TCLTK_LIBS_value= 

and

r_cv_header_tcl_h=no 

and

TCLTK_CPPFLAGS=''
TCLTK_LIBS=''
TCL_CONFIG='' 

So, it seems as if my self-rolled R isn't  TCLTK 'aware'. Is simply adding

--with-tcltk

to my configure call (i.e.,

./configure --with-lapack="-L/usr/lib64" 
--with-blas="-L/opt/acml4.2.0/gfortran64/lib -lacml" --with-tcltk

the solution? I figure worth asking before I literally 'start over'. I 
see from the manual for linux installs there may be some issues with 
playing nice if both 32- and 64-bit versions of Tcl/Tk are installed.

Greetings.

Running Fedora Cora 8 on multi-Opteron system - full 32- and 64-bit libs 
installed (R compiled 64-bit on this machine). R 2.9.0 - libs sitting in 
/usr/local/lib64/R/library. Trying to install JAGS, with rjags. Partial 
success.

For JAGS install:

|./configure --with-jags-modules=/usr/local/lib/JAGS/modules 
--libdir=/usr/local/lib64
make
make check
make install

Seems to work / no config or make errors, and jags fires up fine when I 
invoke it.

Problems start with rjags. Download latest tarball, and try

|| R --with-jags-modules=/usr/local/lib/JAGS/modules/ CMD INSTALL 
rjags_1.0.3-8.tar.gz


||Here is the relevant part of the error messages I get:

** Preparing for lazy loading
Loading required package: lattice
Error: package 'tcltk' does not have a name space
ERROR: lazy loading failing for package 'rjags'
|*  Removing '/usr/local/lib64/R/library/rjags'

No idea what to do now. Only tcltk-like package I see is tcltk2. Tried 
installing it, get the following error:

Error in library(pkg, character.only=TRUE, logical.return=TRUE, 
lib.loc-lib.loc) :
'tcltk' is not a valid installed package.
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'tcltk2'

So, I'm stumped.

That was it - rebuilt R with --with-tcltk, then tried rebuilding rjags. 
Seems to have done the trick.
