[OpenIndiana-discuss] R building problems due to Tcl/TK on openindiana

[Albert Lee]

Daniel and Lou,

If you're happy with the sunfreeware build of R, that's fine. You can
continue to use both sunfreeware and Blastwave on OpenIndiana, but I
should point out they're primarily targeted toward Solaris 10 and
earlier where proper integration with the system software was not
possible.

pkg install pkg:/runtime/tk-8 will the native packages for Tcl and Tk.
A build recipe for R is in spec-files-extra as "SFER" - see
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/pkgbuild/index.php?title=Pkgbuild_on_OpenSolaris
if you're not familiar with SFE.
