[R-SIG-Mac] Tcl/Tk issue with install.packages

[Shripad Sinari]

Hello Simon,

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked in the corresponding directory:

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/library/tcltk/libs
$ ll
total 80
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  37564 Mar  5 13:19 tcltk.so

And I do have the tcltk.so file. I have followed all the instructions given
here 

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#X11-TclTk-headers-and-
libraries-_0028optional_0029

for installing Tcl/Tk.

 

I have even downloaded the R source and used the source in to compile again.
Then used the tcltk.so from there. Still no luck.

So if I need to recompile tcltk.so, can you/anyone please help me by giving
some details about how to go about it.

Thanks,
