[R] Error with Rcmdr package

[John Fox]

Dear Nguyen D Nguyen,

The tcltk package is part of the standard R distribution. I'm not sure why
you got this error, and you don't provide any details about your friend's
system (OS, version of R, version of the Rcmdr package). To see why the
problem lies, you might try loading just the tcltk package via
library(tcltk). If that doesn't work, then something must be broken in the R
installation or perhaps Tcl/Tk isn't installed on the system.

I hope this helps,
 John

Dear all,
A friend of mine, who just installed Rcmdr package. When calling the
package, the error as following comes up. And actually, I've checked in CRAN
packages, the tcltk package doesn't exist anymore, but tcltk2.
Any help is appreciated
