[R] tcltk loading in R-2.2.1 from src

Hi,

Having trouble loading tcltk in R 2.2.1 built from source.

./configure, make, make check, and make install run ok.


 > library(tcltk)
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
        Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
Error in library(tcltk) : .First.lib failed for 'tcltk'

even though it is listed in library() output.

I have the same problem even if i compile with options:
./configure --with-tcltk --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tclConfig.sh 
--with-tk-config=/usr/lib/tkConfig.sh

Is there a dep for R 2.2.1 on a specific version of tcl? Any hints on 
this issue appreciated.

running on linux (2.4.21-4) version:
rpm -qa | grep tcl
tcl-devel-8.3.5-92
tcl-8.3.5-92

Specifically, the package pbatR loads this library during installation.

Thanks,
Patrice
