[R] Problems getting Rcmdr running

[Weiner, Michael]

I have been asked by a couple researchers to install Rcmdr on our HPC cluster. The cluster is a CentOS 6.5 64-bit linux OS and I am having issues running Rcmdr on 3.2.0 (and other versions, but I fear the problem I am experiencing is affecting all the versions I have installed).  I have done a fair bit of googling and ran across a thread (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2015-April/427338.html) with a number of good responses from John Fox, and looked over the documentation found at http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html but nothing there was helpful to my situation.

And here is the somewhat generic error message I get:

> library(Rcmdr)
Loading required package: splines
Loading required package: RcmdrMisc
Loading required package: car
Loading required package: sandwich
Error : .onAttach failed in attachNamespace() for 'Rcmdr', details:
  call: structure(.External(.C_dotTcl, ...), class = "tclObj")
  error: [tcl] Invalid state name hover.

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'Rcmdr'

As a test, I was able to run the tkProgressBar and get the expected widget.  I am at quite a loss here on how to get this running properly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?  Can I provide any additional information to assist?

Thank you in advance
