Yes, I built R myself. I couldn't find a debian package for R 2.3.1. The
latest available is 2.2.1.

Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system

I didn't get any warnings when I used configure. Do I need to explicitly
configure for tcl and tk?

Ubuntu 6.06.
Thanks,

Did you build R yourself, and can you do library(tcltk) on R's command

And, BTW, which Linux distribution is this? "i686-pc-linux-gnu" is not
sufficient.
