Dear Mac useRs, I have a problem with tcltk on a Mac running OSX 10.8.2 and R 2.15.1. Using R.app GUI I got the following:
library(tcltk)
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done Warning message: In fun(libname, pkgname) : no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable I was able to solve this by running XQuartz.app before loading the tcltk library. However, this doesn't help if I run R from the console. Unfortunately, this is needed if you want to build/check a package that requires tcltk. Furthermore, in the previous OSX versions I used (both Leopard and Snow Leopard series) when I was in R (both on GUI or console) and I needed the tcltk library, if X11 was not running the system automatically launched the required application. This appears to be changed with Mountain Lion (and Xquartz) but I guess the old behaviour would solve the problem mentioned above. Thanks in advance for your help.
