Hi everybody!!! I had to upgrade to R 2.0.0 to be able to run GO. I made a fresh install from subversion. I am running Redhat 9.0. The tcltk built thus aborts: stop("Tcl/Tk support is not available on this system") and so I have been unable to rebuild some Bioconductor packages which depend upon tcltk, particularly affy. My R 1.9.1 was working fine and I had no problem.

I don't know much about RPMs, but maybe it would be nice if the recent RPMs for R (for RedHat Linux) could test whether tcl-devel and tk-devel are missing and give a warning if appropriate. One other change to be aware of is that the Tcl/Tk files (from RPM) on RedHat 9 and later are now in /usr/share/ instead of /usr/lib/ Too see exactly where they are, just type: rpm -ql tcl rpm -ql tk And I suspect that: rpm -q tcl-devel rpm -q tk-devel will reveal that you have not yet installed these packages from your RedHat 9 CDs. Hope this helps, James
