Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I followed the Xcode
instructions in your first paragraph and instructions and everything is
working now as expected. Not sure what happened before. As of last
year, more that half my students now live in the Mac world, so it seems
I need to up my skill level.
Enjoyed the little tcltk exercise/test you supplied. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Rob

Dear Robert,
As a brief addendum to my previous message, I’ve now installed the newest
version of Xcode, and I still have no trouble using the Rcmdr package.
I did get the following message when I initially loaded the Rcmdr package:
“Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please run
“sudo xcodebuild -license” and then retry this command.” But the Rcmdr
loaded properly both before *and* after I followed the instruction in the
message.
Best,
John

Dear Robert,
The most common Rcmdr problem on macOS is failure to install XQuartz,
which is required by the tcltk package. If you haven't installed XQuartz,
then start there, and remember to reboot after the XQuartz installation:
<https://www.xquartz.org/>. For more details, please see the Rcmdr
installation notes for macOS at
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html
. You should be able to use the Rcmdr from R.app, a terminal window, or
RStudio.
On the other hand, if you *have* installed XQuartz and rebooted, and the
problem still occurs, then see whether you can load and use the tcltk
package directly, without the Rcmdr; try, e.g. (from ?TkWidgets),
library(tcltk)
tt <- tktoplevel()
label.widget <- tklabel(tt, text = "Hello, World!")
button.widget <- tkbutton(tt, text = "Push",command =
function()cat("OW!\n"))
tkpack(label.widget, button.widget)
Finally, your setup is very similar to mine -- that is, I haven't yet
upgraded my Mac to R 3.4.2 (which I don't think is built yet for macOS)
but all my R packages are up-to-date. An exception is that I haven't yet
installed the latest version of Xcode, which I'll do now to see what
happens. It's unclear to me from your message whether the Rcmdr package
worked before you installed the newest Xcode.
I hope this helps,
John

Subject: [R-SIG-Mac] Rcmdr start-up issue
I seem to be having a problem starting Rcmdr:
library(Rcmdr)
Loading required package: splines
Loading required package: RcmdrMisc
Loading required package: car
Loading required package: sandwich
Loading required package: effects
Loading required package: carData
Attaching package: ‘carData’
The following objects are masked from ‘package:car’:
Guyer, UN, Vocab
lattice theme set by effectsTheme()
See ?effectsTheme for details.
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘Rcmdr’:
package ‘tcltk’ does not have a namespace
I tried first from within RStudio, then from R itself. Same outcome.
Reinstalling Rcmdr, tcltk or tcltk2 package did not seem to help.
I’m brand new to mac, so I may be missing something basic. On the other
hand I should confess to just having just “updated” Xcode.
