Hello,

Up to R 2.6.2, I used to start Tcl *without Tk* (I need only Tcl for some part of my work, like a socket server written in Tcl only, for instance) with this code under Mac OS X (particularly on this system, because I don't want to start X11 just to use Tcl code, which is required for Tk!):

> Sys.unsetenv("DISPLAY")
> library(tcltk)

I got then the message "no DISPLAY variable so Tk is not available", but could work with Tcl without problems.

Now, with R 2.7.0, I got the following and Tcl failed to load:
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) : no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tcltk'

I try to locate the message "no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable" in the code but I cannot find it. Could someone help me please?

Many thanks,
