I am not a profound Mac oficionado, but under the new Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard I installed R-2.7.2 out of the box. When I start R in the terminal, I can see that it hangs at loading Tcl/Tk. Using >R -- vanilla is no alternative so far, since my compiled .First seems to interfere. How can I start with a simple .First or without it?
I'm not quite sure I understand the problem. Running R --vanilla in Terminal will start a plain R without loading any workspace and thus no .First. I'm not quite sure why that's no alternative for you. If you don't want to use --vanilla, you can simply start R from a different directory or delete your saved workspace (.Rdata).
If that doesn't answer your question, please try to rephrase your problem. Note that for Tcl/Tk to work you need installed (and working) X11, so make sure that, e.g., xterm works. Also note that Tcl/Tk doesn't hang - it can abort if X11 is not started, but it should not hang, so you may be seeing something else...
