Hello everyone, I downloaded the latest Linux version of R and tried installing it, but during the installation process I found that this version of R requires tcl 8.3 and tk 8.3. The problem is that I've been unable to find Linux versions of tcl 8.3 and tk 8.3. The only Linux versions of tcl/tk I've been able to find are 8.4. Has anybody been successful in getting R to install on Linux recently, and if so can you please tell me where you got your tcl/tk 8.3? Thanks very much. Eric Evans

Binaries? If so, what platform? As far as I've seen the sources are
quite happy with everything newer than 8.1:
pd at linux:~/r-devel/BUILD> ldd library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so
libtcl8.4.so => /usr/lib64/libtcl8.4.so (0x0000002a95681000)
libtk8.4.so => /usr/lib64/libtk8.4.so (0x0000002a95838000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib64/libX11.so.6
(0x0000002a95a2f000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000002a95c43000)
