Thanks Albert, I will look into this and see if I can get it built and running. A functional R pkg for openindiana would be a great sell to the academics out there. I will see if I can't put something together.

Daniel and Lou,

If you're happy with the sunfreeware build of R, that's fine. You can
continue to use both sunfreeware and Blastwave on OpenIndiana, but I
should point out they're primarily targeted toward Solaris 10 and
earlier where proper integration with the system software was not
possible.

pkg install pkg:/runtime/tk-8 will the native packages for Tcl and Tk.
A build recipe for R is in spec-files-extra as "SFER" - see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=Pkgbuild_on_OpenSolaris
if you're not familiar with SFE.

Excellent, I will try the sunfreeware version instead and let you know what
happens.  I am installing on OI 147  on a V40z with 4x2.5 dual core opterons
and 32gb of ram.

Daniel,


Haven't yet built it on openIndiana; we are R users ourselves, also on
Solaris 10 (SPARC).


Rather than Blastwave, we'd used SunFreeware's R package - in fact, asked
Steve to build with The R_HOME option, so as to support the shared lib model
option in R. Don't know if blastwave builds support this...


I'll be with you on this in a couple of days - we have a few pressing
priorities first.

Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] R building problems due to Tcl/TK on
openindiana

Hello all,

This probably has a very simple answer (I hope). I have been fighting
with this for days. I installed the R package from blastwave, works
fine. Trying to get Rcommander installed. The required package aplpack
keeps kicking out due to

Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system
Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package 'aplpack'

When I look for tcl i get this

Current packages: CSWcommon-1.8.0,REV=2010.05.01
CSWisaexec-11.11,REV=2009.12.27 CSWtcl-8.5.7,REV=2009.09.23

Is there a development package I need? Is there simply something that
needs to be added to my path?

Any help would be appreciated. I did not have this problem on my old
Solaris 10...
