Erin -
    Packages like tk8.4 are basically runtime packages.  They
don't provide the necessary header files that are required to
compile programs which will use those runtime packages.  I
suspect you'll need to install tcl8.4-dev and tk8.4-dev in order to build those capabilities into R. I think you'll also need
libxmu-headers, libxt-dev and libx11-dev for X11.  Basically,
whenever a compilation fails, it means you're missing the -dev
package.

Dear R People:

I am installing R from source into Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope. (R-2.9.1)

When I do the configure, I get the following:
R is now configured for i686-pc-linux-gnu

 Source directory:          .
 Installation directory:    /usr/local

 C compiler:                gcc -std=gnu99  -g -O2
 Fortran 77 compiler:       gfortran  -g -O2

 C++ compiler:              g++  -g -O2
 Fortran 90/95 compiler:    gfortran -g -O2
 Obj-C compiler:

 Interfaces supported:
 External libraries:        readline
 Additional capabilities:   PNG, JPEG, iconv, MBCS, NLS
 Options enabled:           shared BLAS, R profiling, Java

 Recommended packages:      yes


My concern is with the Interfaces supported.  I should have Tcltk and png there.

How do I get those, please?

I installed tclx8.4 and put it into the Path.

thanks,
Sincerely,
Erin
