Dear R-Helpers, I am working with Windows XP. I am trying to build R 2.0.1 from source (R-2.0.1.tar.gz downloaded from CRAN). I read the R Installation and Administration manual and the README.packages file as well (probably tot carefully enough !). I installed the recommended tools and software including TCL/TK software (from archive ActiveTcl8.4.9.0.121397-win32-ix86.exe). I modified the PATH system variable and created new user variables: TCLTK_CPPFLAGS=C:\tcl\include TCLTK_LIBS=C:\tcl\lib
I think these are the problem. In Windows you should only need to edit the MkRules file to change these lines: # Where does Tcl/Tk live? Spaces allowed. TCL_HOME = $(RHOME)/Tcl TCL_VERSION = 84 The section I think you were reading where you found TCLTK_CPPFLAGS was specific to using the configure utility in Unix. Duncan Murdoch
