I'm not sure that this will shed any light on Kjetil's problems, but the startup for Rcmdr is
.onAttach <- function(...){
cat("\nRcmdr Version 0.9-0\n")
Commander()
}.onLoad <- function(...){
save.options <- options(warn=-1)
on.exit(options(save.options))
foreign <- require(foreign)
mva <- require(mva)
ctest <- require(ctest)
tcltk <- require(tcltk)
car <- require(car)
absent <- !c(foreign, mva, ctest, tcltk, car)
if (any(absent)) {
cat("\nThe following packages required by Rcmdr are missing:\n")
cat(paste(c("foreign", "mva", "ctest", "tcltk", "car")[absent], collapse=", "))
cat("\n")
}
}
In a vanilla installation, mva and ctest are among the default packages, so what one should normally see on loading Rcmdr is
> library(Rcmdr) Loading required package: foreign Loading required package: tcltk Loading required package: car
Rcmdr Version 0.9-0 >
Another, possibly relevant, piece of information: .logFont is a Tcl variable containing a font definition:
> .logFont <Tcl> font1
If trying to print this variable causes Rgui to bomb, then perhaps something is wrong with either the installation of the tcltk package or of Tcl/Tk itself.
I'm aware as well that Kjetil has been unable to get Rcmdr to work properly, for reasons that I've been unable to discover. By the way, Rcmdr requires the SDI.
I hope that this is useful. John

I am running in MDI mode. Switching to SDI, problem disappears.
But happens only with one of my many R startup icons, not with the others! It happens when starting in a directory where I experimented with the package Rcmdr by John Fox, and I guess that must have to do with the problem. First, the startup message now includes Loading required package: foreign Loading required package: mva Loading required package: ctest Loading required package: tcltk Loading required package: car Loading required package: lattice Loading required package: grid Loading required package: nls
loading extra packages compared with factory-fresh standard, including car. I did'nt change any startup files, so this must have been set by Rcmdr, but I don't know where.
The value of options("defaultPackages") have not been changed.
When typing ls(all=TRUE) I get a lot of variables names starting with . , most of them must have been defined by Rcmdr, but none seems to contain package name info. I have none .Last() or .First() function anywhere.
Incidentally, one of the variables defined by Rcmdr, .logFont, if I try to print its value, Rgui bombs, repeatedly!
This is all the info I have been able to find. I have no .Renviron file, anywhere. The only changes i made to .Rprofile was to get html help, and redefing the default editor.
