[R] Error while installing gsubfn_0.6-4.tar.gz for R 2.15.1

[Gabor Grothendieck]

I have never seen that before. It has been independently verified that
gsubfn works on Fedora Red Hat as you can see here:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_gsubfn.html

The message about Tcl/Tk in your log suggests that there is something
wrong with your version of R itself.  See FAQ2:
http://code.google.com/p/gsubfn/#FAQs

Given that its been independently verified to install properly on
fedora red hat and that your log shows that your version of R is
broken you may need to get a proper version of R.

The following things may not be sufficient given the above but you
could try it just in case:

options(gsubfn.engine = FALSE)
install.packages("gsubfn") # do NOT use dep=TRUE

Let me know when you resolve it so we can add something to the FAQ.

Regards.
