The install is frozen during: byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading

[kmezhoud]

the suspected causes of this issue come from two factors:

1. During canceR install tcltk2 induces and the insyall is frozen at step byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading

error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/tcltk2/tklibs/ttktheme_radiance/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?)
error reading package index file /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/tcltk2/tklibs/ttktheme_clearlooks/pkgIndex.tcl: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?)

If the tcltk2 package is omitted, the installation continues and ends with warning messages

Warning message:
In fun(libname, pkgname) : couldn't connect to display ":0"
Warning: loading Rplot failed

2. In this case, canceR could not be start with warning message at the starting. After tracking back the warning message, it turns out that tktoplevel is the cause.

 tt <-tcltk::tktoplevel()
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") : 
  [tcl] invalid command name "toplevel".

I installed necessary package:

sudo apt-get install tcl-dev tk-dev mesa-common-dev libjpeg-dev libtogl-dev tk-table

in normal case we have

I installed tk-tbale but I can not locate in the image

The Tktable is found is /usr/lib/tcltk/x86_64-linux-gnu/Tktable2.10/ path
I tried to add the path

> tcltk::addTclPath('/usr/lib/tcltk/x86_64-linux-gnu/Tktable2.10/')
Warning message:
In fun(libname, pkgname) : couldn't connect to display ":0"

This warning message is the same when the build package is finished.
