R help - Sep 2011 - tcltk freezes R

Hi there,

I have the following problem on my macbook air with mac os x lion on it.
when any program tries to load the tcltk library the R GUI or R command line
freezes. also happens if I just use library(tcltk)

changing versions of tcltk and/or R doesn't help. currently I have the
following:
R version 2.13.2 beta (2011-09-19 r57030)
tcltk 8.5.10

any suggestions?

thanks a lot already,
t.

hi, 

problem solved. it was a problem of the x-server. after installing the
xquartz 2.6.3 for snow leopard (i have lion, but there is no such version),
logging in and out to make it the default x-server, it worked.

cheers,
t

Pre-built or built youself?

Use the recommended version of Tcl/Tk at 
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/
(which is 8.5.5: and uses X11 not Aqua: I use Aqua Tcl/Tk with 
command-line R).

And please do as you were asked and use r-sig-mac for OS X-specific 
questions.
