Neither R released nor devel support Tcl/Tk 9 https://www.tcl-lang.com/software/tcltk/9.0.html. Yes, you just need to install tcl8-devel and tk8-devel (and tell dnf to remove version 9 if it's already there) and compile as usual. Building against external BLAS is also not self-evident, so may need guidance. Building against FlexiBLAS is recommended. So you need to install flexiblas-devel, then tell R via --with-blas=flexiblas --with-lapack.
Thanks, I was missing flexiblas-devel. Roger
See the configure part of our spec for a complete reference of what we do: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/R/blob/rawhide/f/R.spec#_326 I?aki Any suggestions welcome!
