Subject: [R] tcl/tk - Install problem using MacOS X / X11

Hi

Sorry, my first post was in German.

I tried to get Rcmdr running under MacOS X 10.4.5. While RGui 
pretends that tcltk is running, starting Rcmdr freezes R completely.
Instead, JGR which gave me the following results:

 > library(tcltk)

Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) : no display 
name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tcltk'

 >

I tried

Sys.putenv("DISPLAY"=":0")

which indeed resulted in a line in Rprofile:

## non standard settings for the R.app GUI of the Mac OS X 
port if(.Platform$GUI == "AQUA") {
     ## this is set to let RAqua use both X11 device and
     ## X11/TclTk
     if (Sys.getenv("DISPLAY") == "")
	Sys.putenv("DISPLAY" = ":0")

     ## this is to allow g77 compiler to work
     Sys.putenv("PATH" = 
paste(Sys.getenv("PATH"),":/usr/local/bin",sep
= ""))
}## end "Aqua"

Anay ideas what`s wrong ?

Hallo !

Ich habe versucht Rcmdr unter MacOSX 10.4.5 zu installieren. 
RGui zeigt an, dass tcl/tk laufen. Bei Aufruf von Rcmdr 
friert R jedoch komplett ein.
JGR zeigt im Paketmanager dagegen an, dass tcl/tk nicht 
gestartet werden konnte und spuckt folgende Meldung aus:

library(tcltk)

Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) : no display 
name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tcltk'

Ideen ?
