I have been trying to install the new, patched R 2.1.0a along with the Rcmdr on my mac. I got the basic R package installed, but in Project Manager, the tcltk package will not install. When I downloaded the Rcmdr binary package from the Berkeley site, it did not show up on the package installer list until a second attempt, but it still does not show up on the package manager list. On the package manager list, the tcltk package is listed as ''not installed'. When I click on it to install, it won't. I tried the library(tcltk) command, which failed. The following is the output from the last command: > library(Rcmdr) Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tcltk/libs/ tcltk.so': dlcompat: dyld: /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk' Error: package 'tcltk' could not be loaded > library(tcltk) Loading Tcl/Tk interface ...

installing R and Rcmdr onMacOS 10.3.9

Dear Karla, It's likely that you don't have Tcl/Tk installed on your Mac. I know that it's possible to get the Rcmdr working on a Mac, but that doing so requires some additional steps. I'm not a Mac user, so I'm afraid that I can't be of much direct help. If someone who's using the Rcmdr on a Mac is willing to prepare notes about how to get it installed and working, I'd gladly post them on my web site.

Hi John, It does work on my Mac. I'm helping Karla to get it running on hers. Rob
