Hello I was just forced to upgrade my OS X to Mavericks. Everything seemed to be OK, R still worked seemingly fine within emacs (am using the latest version, R 3.0.2, and the latest version of ESS, with Emacs 24.3.1) until I tried loading the library extRemes. Apparently the call within that library to load tcltk was the culprit. In fact R crashes simply by trying to load the latter (without trying loading extRemes). I tried reinstalling everything (R and the packages, and the tools' tcltk package -- even if I think it should be bundled with R by default). R keeps crashing with a simple "R process terminated" message. Everything worked just swimmingly under Snow Leopard. Sigh. Can anybody please help?

See the NOTE in bold on http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools Just install R and you will have tcl/tk 8.6.0.

Dear Claudia, The R Commander installation notes at <http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html> have some information (near the bottom) about trouble-shooting tcltk problems on Mac OS X. Maybe they will help.
