[R] Problem installing tcltk on Solaris

[Don MacQueen]

I have built R 1.5.0, and tcl and tk 8.3.4 from sources on a Solaris 
2.7 machine. All _appear_ to build successfully. tcl and tk pass 
their test suites. They were configured to build shared libraries 
(though I also tried it with tk not shared).

When I try to use tcltk, I get this error message:

>  library(tcltk)
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
         unable to load shared library 
"/erd/statistic/apps/R/Rtk/build/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so":
   ld.so.1: /erd/statistic/apps/R/Rtk/build/bin/R.bin: fatal: 
relocation error: file 
/erd/statistic/apps/R/Rtk/build/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so: symbol 
Tk_SafeInit: referenced symbol not found

I would certainly appreciate some help getting tcltk support working.

Thanks
