Hi John,
I'm having some trouble sorting out your request, for the following reasons:

1) I don't know what misdist is (can't find it on CRAN or google) or why you
need Rcmdr to run it. Presumably you meant mixdist?
2) relimp is not required by Rcmdr, merely suggested. Rcmdr will work fine
without it.
3) I hope that by "downloaded from CRAN" you do not mean that you manually
downloaded it. R has package management, use it! What happens exactly when
you try

install.packages("Rcmdr" dep=TRUE)

?
4) I had no trouble installing Rcmdr (and all dependencies etc., including
relimp) using the command above. My session information is below. Please
include yours (as well as the actual errors you get, if any) in your reply.
