[Rd] compilation problem R2.0.0 Linux SuSE8.2 (PR#7263)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Why do you think this is a bug in R?  Have you read what the FAQ says
about BUGS?

R 2.0.0 has been under alpha/beta test for a month and has been tested on
scores of Linux boxes.  It looks like a problem with your Linux
installation to me, specifically with your tcltk installation in the first
instance.
