I've looked through the config.log after the ./configure run (for r-base) and found the following error message during testing for Tcl/Tk usability: configure:32106: checking whether compiling/linking Tcl/Tk code works configure:32144: gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g -O2 -fpic -I/usr/include/tcl8.5 -I/usr/include/tcl8.5 conftest.c -ldl -lm -L/usr/lib -ltcl8.5 -L/usr/lib -ltk8.5 -lX11 -lXss -lXext >&5 /usr/bin/ld: non-dynamic relocations refer to dynamic symbol Tk_Init /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:32144: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: (the failing program is attached). It seems that r-base hit bug #519006 (see [1]). It's a bug in gcc-4.4, and it's unlikely that Tcl/Tk itself can do something to it. Cheers! -- Sergei Golovan
