Just to confirm and clarify (since Philippe is on Gutsy, not Hardy).

Indeed, R 2.7.2 on Gutsy depends on Tcl/Tk 8.5 that is obtained from  
the backports repositories.
I added a note to this effect. The new README is on its way to CRAN now.

Thank you. I preferred to upgrade to Hardy. Note that I had to eliminate 
tcl8.5 (the upgrade left the old version) and then to make:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tcl8.5
sudo apt-get install tcl8.5-dev  <- this one is apprently required, and!
sudo apt-get install r-base
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev
sudo apt-get install r-base-html

and then, R running well with tcl/tk 8.5.
Many thanks for your help.
