Hi All, I tried to install Hmisc from source, but I had errors due to permission issues (I enabled root form my box). I tried to install from the terminal after su-ing to root, but I get the following:
install.packages("locfit")
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) : no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk'
the binaries of R for Mac OS X assumes X11 tcltk. You need to start the X11 server and either set the DISPLAY var to :0 if you use R from the command line. R.app sets the DISPLAY var for you. Unless you build an aqua version of the tcltk R package (i.e. you configure R to use Aqua TclTk headers) you always need to have a X11 window server running (like on Linux, I would say). stefano
The same command in Debian Linux opens a tcl/tk widget... How can I install stuff from the terminal? I'd rather not log out and log in again as root to install stuff that needs g77... (I did for Hmisc, and worked like a charm). BTW, I installed all the .dmg packages that were bundled with R.app. Cheers, Federico Federico C. F.
