Dear Prof. Ripley, dear Mr. Winsemius, dear all,

I just installed Xcode tools from my installation CD. Also additionally the package X11SDK. But ... it still doesn't work.

I have (I mean I can see it in Finder):

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.9/Resources/library/tcltk/ libs/i386/tcltk.so



The error message is suggesting there is some problem with loading that file. Have your rebuilt permissions recently? Disk Utility.app is the the approapriate starting poit for permissions fixes.



/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.2.dylib"

and also alias "libX11.6.dylib" in the same place.

So it is in a location where R is not expecting to find it. I will bow out now, since I am not sure that reinstalling X11 in the /usr/ tree is the right strategy (or even needed ... see below). There may be a path argument that could be set, but I would need to read through the available manual material before I maybe got a clue.( And then it would still be a guess.)



I'm afraid I don't know what is "terminal session".

There is an application named Terminal (or Terminal.app) which is by default in your Applications/Utilities/ folder. It lets you execute Unix commands. I am not able to see the /usr/ folder tree with my Finder setup, so I can only look at it with Terminal. Maybe someone has a hint about how to let Finder peek behind the Unix curtain.



Yours,
Mikhail

See the FAQ sections 8 and 2.1.4, e.g.

X11 window system is necessary to use the X11 device in R and
other
devices that rely on X11.
...
Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger) include X11 on the
installation CD/DVD, however, it is not selected by default. If
it is
not installed, you can re-install it using the original
installation
CD/DVD.
...

The error message indicates that your machine either does not
have X11
installed or it is not installed properly.

Hi,

I cannot load the tcltk. I saw that some people had this
problem, but what is the solution?

I just updated my R to the 2.9.1 version. My MAC OS X is
10.4.11. I also additionally installed tcl/tk 8.5.5 (X11
version). But it doesn't work. The error message is:

Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath =
DLLpath, ...) :

Many many thanks in advance!
