Ideal Linux And R configuration

Hi,

I would like to know if you have a "perfect" list of Linux distro and R version that works fine.

We are trying Fedora 28 and after adding tk tables simile 6.9 works

but we get a tcl related error when we load the Simile package in R.

 

 

Forums: 

Well I develop on Debian 9 with whatever version of R is currently included in its repository, and that works OK...have just fixed a Tcl problem with Simile/R interface under MacOS which was to do with R's Tcl not having access to the packages that are included with the system Tcl, but that should not happen in Linux since R is using the same Tcl as everything else.

I'll give it a go on a Fedora box.

Just tried it on Fedora 23 and all seems well...what exactly is your Tcl error?

Hi,
