I just did a fresh install of R 2.0.1 on my Powerbook 867 running a
fresh 10.3.7 install. The R installation went fine.
I then tried installing the Bioconductor packages.
When I tried to install widgetTools, I got a tcl/tk error.
And when I tried
library(tcltk)
, I got:
Error in fun(...) : Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following
directories:
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace for 'tcltk'
Error in library(tcltk) : package/namespace load failed for 'tcltk'
So, I downloaded a fresh distribution of Tcl/Tk
(TclTkAquaBI-8.4.9.0.dmg) and installed it. I copied the init.tcl
library to /usr/local/lib/tcl8.4 (which I had to create).
Then I tried again:
library(tcltk)
and got
Error in fun(...) : this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to
display ":0"
Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace for 'tcltk'
Error in library(tcltk) : package/namespace load failed for 'tcltk'
I also have downloaded the most recent xcode and XDarwin. But this has
not helped.
If anyone has this working on Mac OS X with R 2.0.1, please enlighten
me.
Thanks.
