[R-SIG-Mac] R commander installation problem (Mac OSX Capitan)

[peter dalgaard]

Please avoid sending in HTML. It comes out barely readable (at best).

I don't see a problem with Rcmdr on Mavericks with R 3.3.0.

The error message points to a problem with the Tcl/Tk installation, probably not Rcmdr per se. 

To isolate the issue, you could try 

library(tcltk)
demo(tkfaq)

(or some of the other demos).

I then run "library(Rcmdr)", but received the following message: Loading required package: splinesLoading required package: RcmdrMiscLoading required package: carLoading required package: sandwichError : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'Rcmdr', details:  call: structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj")  error: [tcl] invalid command name "tk_messageBox".Error: package or namespace load failed for �Rcmdr�I searched for help and some previous posts suggested running X quartz in the background and restarting R, and try again. However that failed to solve the problem. I would really appreciate your help and advice on this. Thank you very much Candice NUS Student
