Re: Bug#590126: rcmdr: FTBFS on mips{,el}: Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded
Fellow Tcl/Tk maintainer,
Could you please take a look at the thread below / in #590126 ? I got tagged
with a 'ftbfs' for an R package that cannot load R's 'tcltk' package (part of the
default build, hence of source package r-base and binary r-base-core) on the
mips and mipsel platforms. Is that a known regression, or is it new?

| Dear MIPSers,

| Thanks, Dirk

| | According to buildd at

| | https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=r-base;ver=2.11.1-2%2Bb1;arch=mipsel;stamp=1279384803
| |

| |
| | checking for tclConfig.sh... no
| | checking for tclConfig.sh in library
| | (sub)directories... /usr/lib/tcl8.5/tclConfig.sh
| | checking for tkConfig.sh... no
| | checking for tkConfig.sh in library
| | (sub)directories... /usr/lib/tk8.5/tkConfig.sh
| | 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
| | maintainers? Mips porters?
