R-1.3.1-Gnome and tcl/tk support?

2 messages · Fisher IV, Robert W Dr NCR, Jan de Leeuw

I installed the precompiled 1.3.1 binaries (the full Mac OS X package with tcl/tk and gnome support) after obtaining tcltk8.x and the gnome packages via fink.  However, trying to run R with the command R --gui=gnome results in an error stating that this version doesn't support Gnome.

I'm also having problems getting tcl/tk to work.  When I give the command library(tcltk) from the R command line, I get an error stating that tcltk can't be found (and a number of standard directories are listed).  I did declare TCL_LIBRARY in my .tcshrc and pointed it to the /sw/fink/src/tk directory...

Can anyone give me some pointers on what I'm doing wrong?  

Thanks in advance,
Robert F.

R-1.3.1 no longer supports gnome, that will probably come back in 1.4.0, 
because
the R team now found a maintainer. If you need gnome support, you can 
find it in my private builds of R-patched and R-devel, which are in

http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/R

I think TCL_LIBRARY should point to /sw/lib, but better just unsetenv it.
