Hi, I'm using a Mac, I've downloaded R (base), and I'm trying to download the package R Commander. I thought I had already done this (both from the web and from within R) but it doesn't seem to be working - it's not there as a "search()" reveals.
You need to load it (with the Package Manager) as well as download it, but that isn't the only isuue
However, there are plenty of files on my system linked with Rcmdr - located in HD>Library>Frameworks>R.framework>Versions>2.1.1>Resources>Library>Rcmdr. Is it simply in the wrong location to use it? The other possibility is that I keep getting a tcltk error whenever I try to load up the package from the Package Manager from within R - and when I try to upload the tcltk package, this also gives the same error [1].
Yes, Rcmdr needs the tcltk package, so this would explain the problem. The error message below suggests that Tcl/Tk is not on your system. I also
get a "Couldn't launch application" error whenever I try to launch the X11.app.
Both for this and for working out why Tcl/Tk isn't installed you might be better off trying R-sig-mac rather than r-help -thomas
This is probably so basic it's staring me in the eyes, but I need your help please. I'd be happy to give any extra info you need. Thanks Cormac [1] Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ...
