I've spent most of the morning reading about Tcl/Tk and issues when using
affylmGUI.

I've read this excellent primer:
http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/affylmGUI/#install as well as the R for Mac OS X
FAQ. I've read many mailing list entries about installing Tktable and
BWidget.

Here is what I am experiencing:

When I run R (either R.app or from within X11), I can successfully load the
affulmGUI library. When I launch affulmGUI, a new window spawns, but I also
get the error window with the error, Cannot find Tcl/Tk package "Tktable"

Here is what I am seeing.

*Here is what I have tried:

I can successfully load the tcltk library and open a window, according to
these instructions:
http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/affylmGUI/#tcltk

I installed BWidget and Tktable according to these instructions:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2006-October/003301.html

I tried the Activestate Tcl distribution.

I tried setting the display variable according to the instructions in here:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2005-October/002345.html

I've tried running R.app and R from within both the terminal as well as X11.
I also reinstalled the R-2.6.1 Mac OS X package with X11 running.

I've confirmed the location of the BWidget and Tktable installations.

Here is the result of tclvalue("auto_path"):

Please advise.
