Re: Bug#590126: rcmdr: FTBFS on mips{,el}: Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded
(Resending, this time with correct email address. Doh. --Dirk)
Dear MIPSers,
I am in need of some help here -- r-base stopped building with tcl/tk
support, and this now trickles down to R packages using tcl/tk (which fail,
as in this FTBFS).
There was no change whatsoever at R, and other arches continue to work.
I can accomodate things, but I would need a hand from someone with mips /
mipsel expertise. Was this local and isolated (and would a rebuild fix it?)
or is this more structural?
Thanks, Dirk
(Debian R dude)

| checking tcl.h usability... yes
| checking tcl.h presence... yes
| checking for tcl.h... yes
| checking tk.h usability... yes
| checking tk.h presence... yes
| checking for tk.h... yes
| checking whether compiling/linking Tcl/Tk code works... no
|
| That last line should have been a yes. Who do we talk to now? tcl
