[R] Subject: tcl-tk error on Suse Linux R install

[Griffiths, Michael]

Dear R Forum,

I have R installed on a SUSE Linux server. The version of R is 3.2.4
Revised. I have been trying to install R commander on the server to provide
a GUI for code development, however when I come to install Rcmdr via

install.packages(“<package-name>”,repos=c(“
http://cran.revolutionanalytics.com”),dependencies=TRUE,type=”source”)

I have a series of non-zero exit status messages for several packages,
including tcltk2. After a little digging round, it seems that tcltk is not
available to my R install.

Now if I offer the command capabilities inside R I am then told that tcltk
is FALSE.

However the zypper in tk tcl command, says that tk and tcl are both
installed and are present in the Linux install.

My question is this: how do I make both tk and tcl available to R so that I
can download and install the R commander package?

Many thanks as always for the R communities time

Mike Griffiths
