[R] tcltk makes R crash?
Hello all, I got a problem using the tcltk-package. It makes 'R crash': I can use R and different packages without any problem. However, when I start the tcltk-package, the terminal I'm running R in (no matter what this 'terminal' is), will not recieve any input anymore once I set at statement which cannot be evaluated. The most easy example: library(tcltk) blabla Error: Object blabla not found So, when I give these two commands, the only thing I can do (with the terminal I run R in), is 'kill client' (which is the terminal). Sometimes (I didn't find any logic yet), I cannot see the commands I'm writing, but they are evaluated anyway (so I can quit etc, using the command 'q()', but what I write is not shown on the screen and when I'm out of R, this behaviour doesn't change for the terminal I ran R in). I'm using Debian woody, R 1.6.2. Anyone any idea? thanks in advance, Kurt __ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help

[...] I'm using Debian woody, R 1.6.2. That sounds really odd. How did you get 1.6.2 onto Debian 3.0 (woody)? One thing you could try is to install the (older) Debian R package from the same Debian 3.0 release, which should execute the sequence above cleanly. You could then proceed in increments: a) rebuild that R version locally on your woody machine to demonstrate that it still works given your libraries, and then b) grab the 1.6.2 source and build the Debian package locally against the same setup as in a). That is bound to work almost surely. Let me know (off the list) if I can help with a) or b).
