Hello,
I installed the GUI R Commander and tried to open it out of R by

Noyb,

It looks like your new to R, welcome to the community.  A couple quick
notes, first the bug reporting system for the R community is
specifically for bugs only, not support issues.  The developers of R
are quite strict about this.  It looks that you've filed a couple of
bug reports, whereas a better place to send such queries would be
R-help.  Second, R Commander, is an add on package, so questions
regarding it's use should be directed to the appropriate email list (I
don't know it, because I don't use R commander.)  The bug tracker, and
the developer list that bugs are sent to, are for core R issues.

As an R newbie I think you'll find the following sites helpful
<http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html>,
<http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php>, and
<http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html>

library("Rcmdr").

The following message occurred:
"Lade n?tiges Paket: tcltk
Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
 Tcl/Tk auf diesem System nicht verf?gbar
Fehler: Paket 'tcltk' konnte nicht geladen werden"

(in English: Load needed package: tcltk
            Error in firstlib(which.lib.loc, package) :
            Tcl/Tk not available on this system
            Error: package 'tcltk' could not be loaded).

I'd like to use the GUI instead of working from the shell, so how do I get it to
run?

I'm guessing that the tcltk package isn't available because it hasn't
been installed yet.  Something similar to install.packages("tcltk")
ought to do the trick.  type ?install.packages at an R prompt for more
info.

Thanks in advance.
