Dear Dan,

You also have to install X11 and Tcl/Tk for X-Windows. The R Commander
installation notes at
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>
have detailed instructions for various versions of Mac OS X. (You can
disregard the part about installing the Rcmdr package if you're not
interested in that.)

I hope this helps,
 John

Sorry, I lied when I said this was a totally vanilla machine. I had
actually installed XQuartz 2.7.4.
For windows, really?
;-)

Are you sure I have to install tcl/tk on my mac? capabilities() says
TRUE for tcltk.
Thanks,
Dan

Sorry, didn't see the "X-".

Your instructions worked well. Installing the tcltk package did the trick.
Thanks,
Dan

Pelase do NOT install R-devel from the nightly build pages. It should not have been there to start with - that's now fixed.

Thanks

Actually, I installed a version of R-devel (now R-alpha) that I had
downloaded from the nightly build pages several days ago.

Thanks,
