I'm not very debian-developer savvy, so I didn't think to look at the control file. I looked at the webpage http://packages.debian.org/sid/r-base-core, but I'm not sure what that's generated from. > There is no special-casing for mips. Or are you trying to tell me that mips > / mipsel have _no tcl/tk_ whatsoever? That can't be, can it? Mips and mipsel definitely have Tcl/Tk. Investigating a little further, I tried building rcmdr on a mipsel system with tcl8.5 and tk8.5 present, but it still gave the same errors that you saw. But maybe it needs r-base to have been compiled with them present? Just wild speculation, I really don't know anything about these packages.
