I did a standard install of R on Fedora 13 using yum as root, which I
assumed installed both the base packages and the devel packages needed
to install R Commander (there weren't any optional packages listed on
the yum info page). My version of R is updated to the latest 2.11
version.
But, running
install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies=TRUE) as root, within R
produces the following errors:
(Last few of a looooong list):
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
error: unable to load shared library '/usr/lib/R/library/tcltk/libs/
tcltk.so':

Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded

6: In install.packages("Rcmdr", dependencies = TRUE) :

It seems I am missing some packages needed to compile and run R
Commander, but I can't figure out which. I did a standard install of R
from yum on Fedora 13, so I'm not sure which other packages I need.
