Dear Dr. Dalgaard,
your suggestion seems to be enlightening. I tried to install the tcltk
package and I obtained a very strange thing. I have done the following:
> install.packages("tcltk",dependencies=T)
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
Warning message:
package tcltk is not available (for R version 2.15.2)
Thus the error seems to be due to the lacking of this package. I tried with
two different CRAN mirrors, but the result is the same. Do you know why it
says the package is not available?
In each case let me say: many thanks!
