I am a Macintosh computer (MAC OS X Version 10.4.3) user. I would like to run R for structural equation modeling and meta-analysis but am having difficulty using the Rcmdr interface. According to the R commander installation notes for Tiger Macs I need to 1) Install X11.app from Apple Install disks which I have done 2) Install R.app which I have done 3) Install binary package rgl from CRAN which I have done 4) Install binary Rcmdr from CRAN which I have done I then need to start R and X11 and type library (Rcmdr) in the R console and return... My computer now is stalling (a colored CD spins) meaning possibly it can¹t run the Rcmdr (R commander) program. Please help me install this successfully. Thank you.

Dear Maha, I'm not a Mac user, so can't offer much help, since you appear to have followed the Mac installation notes. (Rick: I'm copying this reply to you in case you didn't see Maha's message on r-help.) I'm writing primarily to make sure that you know that the Rcmdr doesn't support either structural-equation modeling or meta-analysis.

Hi Maha, Can you provide me with a bit more info? No need to copy the R Help Mailing List for now. Can you let me know: 1) When you start X11, does the X11 window popup (which I usually close immediately)? 2) Can you load library(car) from the R console? 3) Does the Rcmdr window pops up? 4) Any further output on the R console?
