R help - Apr 2015 - New User Having Trouble Loading R Commander on Mac OS Yosemite

I keep getting the same error message when trying to install R Commander.
My operating system is Mac OS Yosemite 10.10
I have installed R 3.2, Rstudio, XQuartz (X11), and tcltk-8.x.x-x11.dmg.
But I keep getting the following error:Loading required package: splinesLoading
required package: RcmdrMiscLoading required package: carError in
loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]) :   there is
no package called ?SparseM?Error: package ?car? could not be loaded

You should review the earlier exchanges this topic on the R-SIG-Mac mailing
list. John Fox posted his advice there.

And you should, of course, install SparseM since that was identified  in the
error message.

Dear David and Aaron,

I apologize for not noticing Aaron's April 30 message. Please see below:

Aaron didn't have to install Tcl/Tk since this is now included in the R
installation. As well, although R will run under RStudio, I suggest that you
use it instead from R.app or from R running in a terminal window. Please see
the Rcmdr Mac OS X installation notes at
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>
for more details.

Apparently the SparseM package wasn't installed when Aaron installed the
Rcmdr package. I'm not sure why that happened, but I've just installed
the
Rcmdr package into a clean installation of R 3.2.0 under Mac OS X Yosemite
and experienced no problems -- perhaps the SparseM package was missing from
the CRAN mirror that Aaron used. Try installing the package directly via
install.packages("SparseM") and see whether that clears up the
problem. If
the package is unavailable, try a different CRAN mirror.

Most Mac OS X Rcmdr problem relate to failing to install XQuartz but that
doesn't seem to be the case here. There are some other troubleshooting tips
in the installation notes mentioned above.

I hope this helps,
 John
