[R-SIG-Mac] compiling from source on ML, tcltk

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Do you need R.app?  If not, I would recommend using ActiveTcl Tcl/Tk by e.g.

./configure ... 
--with-tcl-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh 
--with-tk-config=/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/tkConfig.sh

I've been using it for some time, and it has much nicer ttk widgets.

I think you should be wondering what Apple is doing wrong ....  But you 
need to look in config.log to find the root cause.
