tk problem with R 2.2.0 on wine/linux

Hello, This is interresting. I think you did the big part of the job if SciViews-R is starting. tcltk is used independently from the rest of SciViews-R, for some dialog boxes and for R Commander. I think you should try now to run tcltk on the plain RGui.exe under wine. I guess it will eliminate various possible interferences... and then, if you succeed, go back to RGui + SciViews-R + tcltk under Wine.
This is what I am trying to do - it seems to be some interaction to the windows manager. I tried running "library(tcltk); demo(tkdensity)" under native R on linux - it works, but on exit from R, I get a bunch of warning messages like this: Warning messages: 1: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 2: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 4: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 5: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 6: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 7: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 8: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 9: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 10: X11 protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) So it seems the tcltk is doing something not quite correct, and the problem is serious enough under wine to stop the whole thing.
Unfortunatelly, I cannot help you much here (except if I have some code to change for a better behaviour of SciViews-R under Wine). For the use of tcltk with RGui.exe under Wine, the best person to contact is the tcltk maintainer, that is, Peter Dalgaard. Best, Philippe Grosjean P.S.: What about the performances of R / SciViews-R under Wine???
It is quite useable - I think screen refreshes and updates are significantly slower, so don't expect to do animations, but the Rgui and Rconsole are not noticeably slower than native.

Actually I am trying to run sciview-R and encounted some problems with tk, and I thought I'll check the basic library(tcltk) functionallity, just to be sure. Anybody seen that '[tcl] bad window path name ".1".' message before? Prof. Philippe Grosjean: yes, I have managed to load most of sciview-R under Wine, except the tcltk library! =================== R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.2.0 (2005-10-06 r35749) ISBN 3-900051-07-0 R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
