`init.tcl' problem -- update
hello again, "answering" my own mail to keep it in this thread: first, I forgot to mention the version: 2.7.0. but anyway, I now updated R to 2.7.1 and the problem went away. nevertheless if someone would explain the cryptic error message (for me, that is) concerning directory "@TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@" that would be nice. now the only strange thing remaining is that the R-2.7.1 disk image downloaded a few minutes ago installs `R.2.7.0.framework' which contains R version 2.7.1. (2008-06-23)... joerg

hello, as it seems(...): after a recent update of Xcode tools (I presume from the dates this is the culprit) a new (link to) libtclstub8.4.a was installed in /usr/lib. up to then R was having no difficulties in loading the tcltk package. now I get the following error message (without having touched anything directly related to R -- no new version, no new packages installed): =================================CUT================================= Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) : Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly. Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk' Error: package 'tcltk' could not be loaded =================================CUT================================= question: what am I to make of the directory "names" `@TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@' `@TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@' I mean, where, actually, is R searching for `init.tcl'? I _do_ have `init.tcl in these locations: /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/Scripts/init.tcl /sw/lib/tcl8.4/init.tcl /opt/local/lib/tcl8.4/init.tcl or, put more simply: what need I to do to make R (and me) happy again? thanks, joerg
