Shiny: unable to load tcltk on installation
When I run install.packages("shiny"), I get this error:
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'tcltk', details:
call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
error: unable to load shared object '/usr/lib/R/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so':
libtk8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So I tried install.packages("tcltk2"), which gives me the same error. Is there a requirement for this package I am missing?
Arch Linux x86_64
R 2.15.2

My bad, this is not your problem at all. The r package for arch has tk as an optional dependency. I just needed to install that.

On archlinux you just have to install the tk package with sudo pacman -S tk.

@benjaminengel Thanks for your reply.
I have found the solution via the internet and solved it last weekend. I use another distro Manjaro based on Arch.
At the beginning, the reason that the package tcltk, pbatR needed, can't run on R is I have not install gcc-fortran on the system.
