Hi all,

Please bear with me because I'm not all that familiar with R. I manage a 
research cluster that's running Red Hat 5.6 (64-bit), and we recently 
installed version 2.15.0 of R for some users.  Here's how we built it:

./configure --prefix=/opt/shared/R/2.15.0 --with-tcltk --with-system-zlib --with-system-bzlib --with-system-pcre --with-lapack --enable-R-shlib



When we ran "make check-all" it didn't report any obvious problems, and 
we successfully installed a number of add-on's from CRAN.  But when one 
of our users tries to use R with tcltk he runs into a problem:

Error in structure(.External("dotTcl", ..., PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class =

   [tcl] unknown math function "min".

Can anybody tell me why we're getting this tcl error about the function 
"min" not being found?  I've been unable to find anything on the web 
that relates to this.  We're using version 8.14.3 of tcltk (the RedHat 
supplied packages).

Thanks,

-Bruce
