Hi,
For the past several days I've been fighting with R to install a software package "compcodeR". This package requires Tcl/Tk libraries be installed on the system. So I installed these libraries on our cluster (since they were not present). The install location is /usr/local/lib for Tcl/Tk 8.6.
Unfortunately, R will not install the compcodeR package because it cannot detect the Tcl or Tk libraries. (Yes, the libraries exists and are functional.) Adding /usr/local/lib to the $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH env. variables made no difference. Copying the .so library files to R's lib directory --as other libraries are--made no difference. R still complains that it cannot detect the tcl/tk libraries.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Does anyone know why R cannot detect these libraries even after setting up the environment? Am I using the wrong env variable?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
