Does the Mac version of R include tcltk? There is a section in the R Mac FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#TclTk-issues about tcltk issues on R for Mac but its not clear to me from this whether tcltk is or is not included and I don't have a Mac to try it out.

Gabor, the full universal binary disk image (.dmg) does include tcl/tk if the user installs R that way. The 'mini' image does not, so would require the user to install tcl/tk separately. More info here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Supplemental tools for OSX, including tcl/tk, are available from: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/ One can of course also build from source code on OSX, which is what I do. More information on that approach is at: http://r.research.att.com/building.html and http://r.research.att.com/tools/ HTH, Marc Schwartz
