Re: [R] Odd crash with tcl/tk
Hi @ Andrew: Did you get this problem solved? I am having similar problems and have tried to work around it using options(gsubfn.engine = R) as suggested by Gabor. However, this don't solve on my machine. R just freezes up trying to execute read.csv.sql() On OSX 10.6.4, R 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) 64bit Any help is much appreciated!

Sorry to chime in late (for some reason, I was not at the Mac when this came in originally). I can't reproduce the situation.

Re: [R] Odd crash with tcl/tk
That should not be necessary if you used options(gsubfn.engine = R) since it should not be using tcltk in the first place. Perhaps you are using an old version of gsubfn -- the latest on CRAN is 0.5-3. On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 11:49 AM, Lars Dalby lars.da...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Peter Spot on! You where absolutely right.
