I believe R needs to be compiled with tcltk support for the package to work. Do
you compile your own version or use a package manager (e.g., on Ubuntu)? If you
have TCL/TK installed in a "standard" location, all should be well I think.
See:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Tcl_002fTk
On my Ubuntu machine, I have both the "tcl" and the "tk" packages installed
through Synaptic (the package manager).
HTH,
