[R-SIG-Mac] problems with tkrplot

[Jean Thioulouse]

Hello,

I am trying to use the tkrplot library and get the following error.

> library(tkrplot)
Loading required package: tcltk
Error in structure(.External("dotTcl", ..., PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class
= "tclObj") :
          [tcl] dyld: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/R malformed library:
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tkrplot/libs/tkrplot.so (not a Mach-O library file, bad filetype value)
.
Error in library(tkrplot) : .First.lib failed for 'tkrplot'


I have tried to install the latest version of the tcl/tk library (8.4.8),
and to rebuild the latest R-devel without --with-aqua, but I still
have this problem.

X11 and the tcltk package work without problem.

As explained by Jan,

I tried to link tkrplot (with R CMD SHILB) and to change tkrplot.R,
but it still says it is not a Mach-O library file :

> library(tkrplot)
Loading required package: tcltk 
Error in structure(.External("dotTcl", ..., PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class = "tclObj") : 
        [tcl] dyld: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/exec/R malformed library: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tkrplot/libs/tkrplot.dylib (not a Mach-O library file, bad filetype value)
.
Error in library(tkrplot) : .First.lib failed for 'tkrplot'


Is there a way to make it work ?

Thanks
Jean
