Tcl/Tk has to be available when you build R, not just at run time. I am pretty sure that for a 64-bit build of R you need a 64-bit build of Tcl/Tk. > Anyone could point me in the right direction as what needs to be done so > Tcl and Tk become visible to R? Rebuild R, preferably after compiling Tcl/Tk from the sources yourself (it is probably simpler than build R). -- Brian D.
