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

Tue May 25 18:20:48 CEST 2021

I just upgraded from XQuartz 2.7.11 to the current 2.8.1, and then rebooted the Mac M1.

tcltk now loads and gives warnings:

There are fewer messages than before.
tcltk now loads with warnings.
Rcmdr now loads.

What should I do about xcrun and otool?

Simon, can you add a note to the CRAN download page that XQuartz 2.8.1 is needed for the Mac M1.
