[R-SIG-Mac] loading Rcmdr

[Cormac Lawler]

(originally posted to R-Help - advised to post here)
Hi,
I'm using a Mac, I've downloaded R (base), and I'm trying to download
the package R Commander. I thought I had already done this (both from
the web and from within R) but it doesn't seem to be working - it's
not there as a "search()" reveals. However, there are plenty of files
on my system linked with Rcmdr - located in
HD>Library>Frameworks>R.framework>Versions>2.1.1>Resources>Library>Rcmdr.
Is it simply in the wrong location to use it? The other possibility is
that I keep getting a tcltk error whenever I try to load up the
package from the Package Manager from within R - and when I try to
upload the tcltk package, this also gives the same error [1]. I also
get a "Couldn't launch application" error whenever I try to launch the
X11.app.

This is probably so basic it's staring me in the eyes, but I need your
help please. I'd be happy to give any extra info you need.

Thanks
Cormac
