Did you build R yourself, and can you do library(tcltk) on R's command line? You may well be missing the -devel packages for tcl and tk. And, BTW, which Linux distribution is this? "i686-pc-linux-gnu" is not sufficient. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
