Dear Larry, The tcltk package is part of the standard R distribution; it doesn't live on CRAN, and should already be installed. Have you tried loading tcltk directly -- library(tcltk)?
It's possible that you don't have X11 Tcl/Tk installed on your Mac. Take a look at the Rcmdr installation notes for Macs, at <http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>, if you haven't already done so. I hope this helps, John ------------------------------ John Fox, Professor Department of Sociology McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada web: socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On > Behalf Of Lawrence Hanser > Sent: February-10-09 5:01 PM > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] tcltk, tcltk2, Rcmdr, Mac OS X > > Dear Colleagues, > When I try to install Rcmdr the following happens: > > ---------------------------------- > > library(Rcmdr) > Error in structure(.External("dotTclObjv", objv, PACKAGE = "tcltk"), class = > "tclObj") : > [tcl] invalid command name "font". > > Error : .onAttach failed in 'attachNamespace' > Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Rcmdr' > ---------------------------------- > > I wondered if this is because there is no "tcltk" package installed.
