R help - Mar 2010 - Installing R cmdr

Dear John Fox,

I am using Snowleopard with a Intel Core 2 Duo processor.  I have installed the
R console and followed your steps at:

http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html

but every time I try "library(Rcmdr)" it loads Tcl/tk infinitely.  I
have tried loading "library(tcltk)" by itself and it does the same
thing.  I have tried with X11 running to no avail.  I have even tried
downloading a snowleopard build from http://r.research.att.com/ with no new
results.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Taleb Alkhajah

Hi Taleb,
You might have better luck posting this to the mac-specific mailing
list: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac

In fact I think this issue has come up there before. See

Best,
