So it isn't installed. Install it, then.

Get

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib/files/BWidget/1.9.5/bwidget-1.9.5.tar.gz

unpack the tar file into /usr/local/lib:

cd /usr/local/lib
sudo tar xvf ~pd/Downloads/bwidget-1.9.5.tar 

(replacing ~pd if you're not me, of course)

Done. Verify by starting R and

Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done

<Tcl> 1.9.5
