Tcl/Tk issue with install.packages
Hello Simon, Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked in the corresponding directory: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/library/tcltk/libs $ ll total 80 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 37564 Mar 5 13:19 tcltk.so And I do have the tcltk.so file. I have followed all the instructions given here http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#X11-TclTk-headers-and- libraries-_0028optional_0029 for installing Tcl/Tk. I have even downloaded the R source and used the source in to compile again. Then used the tcltk.so from there. Still no luck. So if I need to recompile tcltk.so, can you/anyone please help me by giving some details about how to go about it. Thanks,

Shripad, my guess would be that you don't have working Tcl/Tk developer setup. The fact that your Tcl/Tk doesn't work is not apparent until run-time, because missing symbols are reported only at load time. Make sure you have installed X11 Tcl/Tk that comes with R (or compile one yourself). Cheers, Simon On Apr 18, 2008, at 12:57 AM, Shripad Sinari wrote:
Hello All, I am having a problem with loading tcl/tk particularly when using the install.packages function on Leopard. I have custom build my binary for my dual core leopard and use type="source" argument in install.packages. No X11 issues any where else and X11 is launching as required when install.packages is invoked. Can somebody suggest a way to overcome this problem. I am attaching my R transcript file for the session.
