[R] R-2.2.1-INSTALL Issue with TCLTK

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Those don't look like valid paths to config files to me.  On FC3 they 
would be

/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh
/usr/lib/tkConfig.sh

So even if you have users tcl-8.4.12 and tk-8.4.12 (do you?), your paths 
are almost surely not to config files.

Configure reports what works, including that it is not going to build 
tcl/tk support.  Look back at the relevant parts of its output.
