[R-SIG-Mac] Tcl/Tk issue with install.packages

Shripad,

my guess would be that you don't have working Tcl/Tk developer setup.  
The fact that your Tcl/Tk doesn't work is not apparent until run-time,  
because missing symbols are reported only at load time. Make sure you  
have installed X11 Tcl/Tk that comes with R (or compile one yourself).

Cheers,
Simon
