Sarah, note that 10.7.2 is way old - there have been many patch releases since then so first thing I'd suggest is to run Software Update. XQuartz doesn't remove system X11 if installed, so it's not necessarily relevant (it depends on the local setup) - OS updates may be more important here. But

I myself am not a Mac user, but I have about 6 students with Macs all having the same (or similar) problem loading Rcmdr 2.0.1 on their Mac (but have successfully installed R 3.0.1). One student has a Mac 10.7.2. I know he installed XQuartz-2.7.4.dmg and then completely logged out and back in. Bef
