[R-SIG-Mac] [External] tcltk on M1 mac?

Tue May 25 16:44:44 CEST 2021

I seem to remember a discussion not too long ago that the very latest version fo XQuartz did not install all the libraries needed by R, and to install the previous on instead  (I hav XQuartz 2.7.11, the latest is 2.8.1).  Is this still the case?

Thanks,

-Roy
