Does the RPM for RH9 know about TCL/Tk

Sorry for the probable repeat post but I can only search the list up to 2002 (is there a better way?).
Yes, see my search page below.
I am using the RH9 RPM from CRAN but packages like AnalyzeFMRI say that tcltk is not found. Do I need to do more to get Tk GUIs working on RH9 or does the RPM not have tcltk support built in (should I compile from source). Thanks in advance.
There was in fact some discussion of this last month. I am not sure of the answer. But I installed 1.7.0 from the RPM for RH 9, and I got the same error message when trying to get Rcmdr to work. I did have tcl and tk installed. Unfortunately, I did not do a properly controlled experiment. I first installed tcllib, which was not installed originally. (That didn't help, by itself.) Then I re-installed R _from source_ and then everything worked. But I did have the basic vanilla installation of RH 9, and I did have this problem. So you aren't the only one. I still don't know whether tcllib is necessary, and whether the RPM itself installs different things depending on what is on the system. (I would assume not, but I'm not sure.)
