In the Mac version, there is no Packages>Load Packages as there is in the PC version - instead there is the Package manager, which rejects my attempts to download Rcmdr (it loads other packages ok, like boot, graphics etc.) That was the error message I pasted at the end of my mail - this makes me think that there is possibly some interference with what I've already downloaded(?). Trying to work from the main console, but I can't find a comprehensive, easy to understand list of commands.. Cormac

Subject: [R] loading packages - mac user
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. However, there are plenty of files
on my system linked with Rcmdr - located in
HD>Library>Frameworks>R.framework>Versions>2.1.1>Resources>Lib
rary>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]. I also
get a "Couldn't launch application" error whenever I try to launch the
X11.app.
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
