[Rd] Compiling R 2.12.0 from source: error (temp dir)

[Janko Thyson]

I've created a /tmp directory so I wouldn't have to change TMPDIR. So far,
so good. But now I get the error below. Anything I forgot regarding tcltk?

Thx, 
Janko

ERROR:
In file included from init.c:22:0:
tcltk.h:23:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [init.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [mksrc-win] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

SYSTEM INFO:
 - Windows XP SP 3
 - R-2.12.0
 - Eclipse 3.6.1
 - StatET 0.9.x
