Hi, Recently, I've been trying to use packages in R that require loading the Tcl/Tk interface. However, I get a strange result and a crash that I haven't been able to find discussion about on these boards (or any others).
When I enter library(tcltk), it reads "Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... ", but then never says "done" or displays some sort of error message. Looks like this: > x11() > library(tcltk) Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... > Now you can type additional commands in, at your peril! For example, if I type in the text "library", nothing happens, but "library(" causes R to freeze up irreparably, with "executing: try(gsub('\\s+','',paste(capture.output(print(args(library)))),collapse=")),silent=TRUE)" displayed at the bottom. When this happens, there's nothing you can do but restart R because it's completely frozen. I'm running R version 2.11.1 Patched (2010-07-27 r52627) [R.app GUI 1.35 (5603) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0] with XQuartz 2.3.5 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple53) on a mac (snow leopard) Thanks for any help/suggestions in advance, Andrew -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Odd-crash-with-tcl-tk-tp2305032p2305032.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
