I have spent 3 attempts to compile R and end up at the very same spot.
 
 
  "tcltk.h:23:17: fatal error: tcl.h: No such file or directory"
 
 
RTools.exe does not install a tcl.h file.  It is not there. I looked and looked and looked.
 

R-2.15.3 source code does not have a tcl.h file. I looked and looked and looked.
 

R_Tcl_8-5-8.zip does have a tcl.h file.
 
 

2. My folder contents are the following.
 
 
  1. RTools folder, 
  2. R-2.15.3 source code folder
  3. Tcl folder ( from R_Tcl_8-5-8.zip ) 
 
 
Their locations are the following.
 
 
  1. F:\RTools
  2. M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\R\R-2.15.3
  3. M:\YDrive\All_Economics\eclipse_workspace\Tcl 
 
 
Where do I stick the "Tcl" folder?
 

What is a "top level of the R directory tree?" Where is it?
 
 
Thank you,
