[R-SIG-Mac] tcltk

[Loren Engrav]

Greetings

I have a Mac PowerBook with 10.4.11 that did not have R on it but it did
have X11 1.1.3 - Free86 4.4.0 but no Xcode Tools

So I installed R-2.9-branch-48932.dmg

Then with the GUI and Package Manager tried to install tcltk; got the same
error message you did

Then installed tcltk-8.5.5-X11.dmg; and the error went away and install
proceeded to done

This would suggest install from scratch, tho painful, would solve the
problem
