[R] problems with R and tckl/tk on Mac OS X

[Rob J Goedman]

Hi John, Alex and Ingo,

Thanks for catching this question. I'd missed Ingo's original email.

Rcmdr does need X.11 and Tcl/Tk, although it uses the versions that  
come with Mac OS 10.4. Hence, as Alex indicates, there is no need to  
separately install these.

Ingo, if you can't get it to work using John's link, let me know  
where you get stuck.  R-Sig-Mac is an alias dedicated to Mac OS  
specific questions.

Regards,
Rob
