R commander on Mac OS X 10.4.5 ff

New to R and no unix crack...
After trying to invoke R commander (X11 running) I figured that on my  
10.4.6 system (with Xcode 2.2) the folder
/usr/local/lib/
is empty...
thus
/usr/local/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib can't be loaded by
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/tcltk/libs/tcltk.so
Anybody a clue to how to install the missing library or am I  
completely off?
Regards				Martin

If you are installing from the binary obtained from CRAN, choose  
"customize" during installation. That will give you the option of  
installing the tcltk stuff. And while you are at it, grab the g77 as  
well. And you probably also want to use gcc 3.3, by giving the command
   sudo gcc_select 3.3
in the terminal. The last two advices have nothing to do with tcl/tk  
however.
