[R-SIG-Mac] Cannot load tcl/tk (tcltk package installed)

[Anca Chereches]

Well, d'oh. I only just realized that the error message is saying that 
tk is looking for x11r6 in /usr and obviously not finding anything. Is 
this a matter of setting paths or are x11 and x11r6 different things?

Thank you,
Anca
