Tcl/tk version 8.3.3-74 is indeed the current "official" version from RH for 8.0 and is what I have as well. No updates to that version are yet available via RHN, though updates are of course available from ActiveState to 8.3.5 and 8.4.1. Tcl/tk works fine on my system using R 1.6.2 installed from the RPM provided by Martyn Plummer on CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/redhat/8.x/i386/R-1.6.2-1.i386.rp m) and tcl/tk installed from the RH DVD. I agree with Peter, sounds like a library location problem/conflict. Which came first? The build/install of R or the install/upgrade of tcl/tk? If you installed/upgraded the tcl package second, the path for the tcl libraries may not be the same as what was present when you first built/installed R, presuming that tcl was installed at that point.
