Dear Ben,
It seems clear that the problem is in loading the tcltk package. To confirm
that, does library(tcltk) fail?
I'm not very knowledgeable about Mac OS X. I do have a MacBook, with OS X
10.5, however, and encountered no problems installing and running the Rcmdr
package. Have you seen the R Commander installation instructions for Mac OS
X 10.4, at
<http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>? If
not, maybe something there will help.
I'm copying this response to Rob Goedman <goedman at mac.com>, who has
provided
help before.
Regards,
John
