[R-sig-Debian] tkrplot does not install

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

You'd be better off first checking if the package exists, as it does here:

  sudo apt-get install r-cran-tkrplot

which will get you tkrplot pre-built. Doesn't get much easier.

Second, your error is elementary in that you did not supply tk headers.  The
package Build-Depends on these:

   Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.0), cdbs, r-base-dev (>= 2.13.1),
                  libx11-dev, tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev 

So if you insist on building locally, install "libx11-dev, tcl8.5-dev,
tk8.5-dev"
