I think that R was successfully installed. I'm working
with Rclimex, so i need a few packages (ismev, extRemes)
to work with, but it also need Tcl/Tk. I reed in FAQ
that it sometimes generates a problem so you have to
type: Sys.setenv(DISPLAYS=":0") this worked the first
time and no more.
Now when I try to load any of the packages, even Tcl/Tk
this show up:
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in fun(...) :
couldn't connect to display ":0"
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'tcltk'
So I don't know what else to do.
Sys.setenv(DISPLAY=":0.0")
library(tcltk)
That won't work (see that display is set already).
Mónica, it all depends on the Mac OS X version you're using. If you
have Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) then you should *not* set DISPLAY because
Leopard uses a special trick to start X11 that doesn't work when you
change DISPLAY. So on Leopard, make sure DISPLAY is not touched (it
will look somewhat like "/tmp/launch-RfCsdFs/:0").
However, if you have an older OS version (e.g. Tiger = Mac OS X 10.4),
then you need to start X11 first and then set DISPLAY to ":0" (or ":
0.0" it doesn't matter).
If you still have problems, please specify exactly which OS X version
you are using, how you installed X11 and what machine you're using.
Thanks,
Simon
