Thanks for sharing with us that you forgot to install Tcl/Tk - not that we really need to know that. Did you mean to ask some question perhaps?
Cheers,
Simon

Ooops - my apologies - I missed that the output actually included some comment inside - it looked like a plain R output. It seems you're missing X11 - please read the FAQ on how to install it.
Cheers,
Simon

No. As I indicated below, X11 is running.

But which X11? Not Apple's  since the message says it's not present:
Depending on your OS version you should see something like:

Thanks Simon,

Final update: The problem of R hanging when I tried to attach tcltk was fixed by reinstalling R2.11.1. Thanks, Simon, for your diagnosis of my X11 problem.
