Subject: tcltk package problems (R 2.2.0, SuSE 10)
In-Reply-To: <mailman.9.1130493601.6207.r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch>
i also had a problem getting 2.2.0 to work with tcltk on SuSE 10.0...
and with compiling R from source on SuSE 10.0.
on getting tcltk to work:
i ended up taking source for tcl and tk from
http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/
and recompiling; once you unpack the tar.gz the install instructions are
in the directory /unix for both programs. after that then
> capabilities()
shows tcltk is TRUE and it works fine. i'm not sure if this was the
easiest solution, but it worked.
on getting SuSE 10 to compile R from source: i was unable to use Yast to
get a fortran compiler and ended up recompiling gcc to include
gfortran from the source (at e.g.
http://gcc.fyxm.net/releases/gcc-4.0.2/ ) if you want some more detailed
instructions feel free to mail me.
best regards and good luck.
