R.app under OSX 10.6

I've been porting some of our in-house projects to 10.6 (Developer  
Preview 10A261) and was wondering if anyone here has been successful  
in running either R.app or tcltk under this 'snow leopard.'  The core  
app compiles and runs relatively smoothly, but I have unable to make  
either of these components work properly.  Thanks/

Apple has stopped supporting the R development for Macs some time ago,  
so unfortunately we have no longer access to 10.6 previews and so  
cannot support it. There are some hopes in Apple getting involved  
again, but I wouldn't hold my breath given the experience in the last  
few years.

Cheers,
Simon

[PS: To be fair a very helpful Apple contact arranged a discount last  
year our CRAN build machine, but that was his own kind initiative, not  
Apple's.]

Yes. Everything works just fine out of the box including the R.app GUI  
and tcltk. This is true both for a native build as well as the CRAN  
binaries.

[We just got our seed back, so maybe Apple is interested in scientific  
computing after all...]
