Hi Saurabh probably one or more of your packages are out of date. Try http://bioconductor.org/install/index.html#update-bioconductor- packages Provide sessionInfo() if this does not help.

Try I also had problems with qvalue, and there is indeed something seriously wrong: The current version of 'qvalue' (v1.24.0 on CRAN, last changed 2010-10-26) depends on 'tcltk'. Now, if you look at CRAN's tcltk page, you get this here: "Package ?tcltk? was removed from the CRAN repository. Formerly available versions can be obtained from the archive." When did that happen? In October, it obviously was still around. The archive only lists a really old initial version. Could it be that the CRAN people deleted it accidentally? The 'tcltk2' package that the OP mentioned seems, by the way, not be a replacement of 'tcltk' but an add-on. It also lists 'tcltk' lists as one of its dependencies. A completely different question is why qvalue depends on tcltk. Does anybody actually use its GUI interface. To John Storey (CC'ed): What about moving this out of the package, or making it optional? (I.e., remove the dependency on tcltk from the DESCRIPTION file and instead try to load tcltk only if somebody calls the GUI function.)

Hi Simon, Check out this URL. http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/ Various tcltk widgets are also available from http://sourceforge.net/.

Use the search engine to locate tools such as BWidget, tcllib, tcltable etcetc. Thanks, but I think, you misunderstood the issue. The CRAN package 'tcltk' is a set of R binding for Tcl/Tk, i.e. a package that allows you to use Tcl/Tk from within R. The issue is not that Tcl/Tk itself vanished from CRAN; it was never available there and users were always supposed to install Tcl/Tk on their system before attempting to import the 'tckltk' R package, which, as I said, is only a wrapper. And this wrapper is what has vanished from CRAN, which is an issue, because a large number of packages depend on it. Simon

At least in R 2.12, tcltk package source is in src/library of the source R distribution. There is no need to distribute it at CRAN AFAICT.

Yes, this explains it. Sorry for missing this obvious point. I didn't have the 'tk-dev' package installed on my Ubuntu when I compiled my R, so it was skipped, and I guess this is also the original poster's problem. (Not wanting to compile all of R again, I just tried to install the tcltk package separately from my R source tree but that does not seem entirely straight-forward, because the Makefile in there need to be regenerated from the global configure script, and simply re-running does not do the job. Ok, I guess rebuilding everything is not a big deal and easiest.) The remaining issue is that the installation of 'qvalue' gives this misleading error message: Error : package 'tcltk' does not have a name space Other packages, e.g., 'tckltk2', properly report: Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded But, I guess, the best would be if John dropped the dependency on 'qvalue'. I don't suppose that we should take for granted that the average user has Tk available. (Is it bundled to the R installer for Windows?) Simon

The tcltk package comes by default with the R installer on Windows, and for that matter on *nix as well. It is used by several of the base functions like install.packages(), and IMO can be considered at least on the level of a recommended package. John can do with his package as he likes, but I don't see a strong argument for dropping a dependency on a package that has such a high expectation of being installed.

Whether R should report that a package is not installed when an import is attempted but the package is not installed seems to be an issue for R-core. > Other packages, e.g., 'tckltk2', properly report: > > Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) : > Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system > Error : package 'tcltk' could not be loaded > > > But, I guess, the best would be if John dropped the dependency on 'qvalue'. > I don't suppose that we should take for granted that the average user has Tk > available.

So users are encouraged to get their tcltk infrastructure in order if they want the qvalue package. It isn't too hard.

Hi Simon, I have recently installed tcltk manually into R - you can then get R to use tcltk automatically from wherever the software is installed. Download the latest tcltk tar.gz file from sourceforge (check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl/files/Tcl/) and unpack it, eg into the R library. >From the R prompt, check out where R is looking for tcltk with > tclvalue("auto_path") If where you have installed tcltk is missing from the list that appears, then add the path, for example: > addTclPath("/Users/Library/R/2.12/library") Hope that helps.
