[R] How can I do a spinning plot in R?

[Richard A. O'Keefe]

I asked about spinning plots in R.

I have downloaded this.  Now I face another problem.

When I installed R 1.7.1 I went through the usual
    ./configure
    make
    make check
sequence.  Make check reported a problem in a Tcl/Tk check, but it didn't
dump core, and didn't explain what the problem actually _was_.
I went carefully through the log produced by ./configure and found that
it had located the Tcl/Tk libraries correctly, and we see from the dump
above that this is certainly true of Tcl.  (I actually have tcl 8.3
installed privately; R's configure located the system-wide 8.1 version.)

This is on a Sun Blade 100 running Solaris 2.9.

What is the next step in tracking this problem down?
