Many thanks; I am not familiar with gcc and did not realize that was
the directory it was looking for Tcl in.  Knowing that I just created
a copy there and everything seems to be working.  All the stuff that
normally builds of Tcl/Tk also built now, which I'm sure my future
self will be grateful for.  I think, perhaps, I was meant to unpack
the tarball in the R64 directory Rtools created.

Thanks again,

Josh
