I'm having a problem with launching the ginput pop-up from gWidgets.
This is the error:
Loading required package: gWidgetstcltk Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function ‘.ginput’ for signature ‘"guiWidgetsToolkittcltk"’ In addition: Warning message: In library(package, lib.loc = lib.loc, character.only = TRUE, logical.return = TRUE, : there is no package called ‘gWidgetstcltk’</p>
I use the popup to type a number that I then assign to a variable.
Code snippet as follows:
options(guiToolkit = "tcltk") # Tool kit dependency for gwidgets.
library(gWidgets) # Package required to launch ginput gui.
width.var <- as.numeric(ginput("Enter value for - Width ",
title = "PNG dimensions",
icon = "info"))
Supplementary info:
I updated my R version from 3.2.5 to 3.4.1 as well as installing the latest RStudio version. I've run this code section before on R3.4.1 but on a different computer without any issues.
Right now i suspect it's RStudio but i don't know how to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

ANSWER:
The error threw me a bit and looks more complicated than it really is.
I fixed by simply installing "gWidgetstcltk". I assumed that because I load tcltk and gWidgets separately that it would be enough. Thanks Alex
