[R-sig-Debian] installing tkrplot

[Mark Leeds]

Hi All: At the bottom of this email is my sessionInfo and below that
there is a command
that shows that tcltk is installed and working. My problem is that, when
trying to install tkrplot,
I get the following error:

R CMD INSTALL -l . tkrplot_0.0-24.tar.gz

* installing *source* package 'tkrplot' ...
** package 'tkrplot' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

Clearly, I must be missing the tk.h file but I don't know where to get it
nor where to put
it. Thanks a lot.

All of a sudden, I had the brilliant idea to google and the command below
solved the problem. My apologies for noise.

sudo apt-get install tk-dev

Still too difficult / laborious. Next time remember to do

apt-cache searck tkrplot # or any other search term

which would have lead you to

r-cran-tkrplot

which implies

sudo apt install r-cran-tkrplot

is all you need. No need for the ballast of two -dev packages, no need to
locally compile. There is a reason I packaged this maybe 15 years ago ...
