[R-SIG-Mac] Error with library(tcltk) on R-devel

[John Fox]

Dear Dan,

You also have to install X11 and Tcl/Tk for X-Windows. The R Commander
installation notes at
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>
have detailed instructions for various versions of Mac OS X. (You can
disregard the part about installing the Rcmdr package if you're not
interested in that.)

I hope this helps,
 John
