Rich,

I think tcltk attempts to find the location of the libraries via otool from Xcode tools so it can tell you to install the missing libraries if you didn't (otherwise it would just crash). I agree that it may be worthwhile to just silence the warning when you are missing xcrun, since XCode is not a requirement at run time, so you can file a bug report. It's just a benign warning since the non-existence of xcrun doesn't prevent from running eventually.

As for XQuartz, we already do say that explicitly on the CRAN page (with a link to XQuartz 2.8.1):
"Note: the use of X11 (including tcltk) requires XQuartz. Always re-install XQuartz when upgrading your macOS to a new major version."

Cheers,
Simon
