In Chrome I get:

mirrors.cicku.me refused to connect.

See this list:

I think you need a different CRAN mirror?

Dear Peter,

First, thank you very much for persisting with this. I greatly appreciate it.

I believe that Brian mentioned to me years ago that he was able to get R (and 
the Rcmdr package) to work fine with a native version of Tcl/Tk for Macs. 
Beyond that, I don't recall.

Moving the menus to the top bar is desirable, in my opinion, because it's what 
Mac users expect. If the problem is simply with the font sizes, I should be 
able to adjust that automatically, as I do now.

If you see a better way to do this, of course I'd appreciate that. It took a 
fair amount of work to adjust the fonts so that they look right on Windows, 
macOS, and Linux systems.

Best,
 John

And a bit more. The Rcmdr crash happens here:

debugging in: .Tcl.objv(.Tcl.args.objv(...))

and I can make the same thing happen in wish, so it is Not Our Fault:

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R commander fonts on R 3.4.0

2017-05-17 Thread Peter Dalgaard 
A few more data points:

I tried building Tcl/Tk 8.6.6 from the sources from sourceforge. Contrary to 
what it says on the package, it insists on building Tcl and Tk as frameworks, 
which in turn requires that R's configure needs special instructions. This 
works reasonably well for simple tcltk stuff (demos, the CRAN selection menu), 
but unfortunately, library(Rcmdr) causes an "Abort trap: 6" almost immediately. 
(I get a sense of deja vu about this... Did Brian try something similar years 
ago?)

It does actually seem to work to build R against the system-supplied v.8.5 
frameworks. However, this is Aqua-based, and the fonts are a bit weird (smooth, 
but way too small) and the Rcmdr menus get moved to the top bar.

I am pretty sure by now that all this stuff is a generic tcltk build problem 
and way out of John's domain. (Thanks for posting the font code, John. I hope I 
can get around to having a closer look at it at some point. Those .Tcl(paste()) 
constructs make me cringe a bit, but not all are easily eliminated.)
