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.
For brief information on Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
/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.
David,
To enable Finder to display 'hidden' files and folders, open a
Terminal and paste in:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
Finder will restart after the last command.
Note that doing this will also display files that begin with a '.'
which are normally hidden, but which can be beneficial to show. Files
such as .RData and configuration files such as .emacs will now be
visible. However you will also see files such as .DS_Store in each
folder and on the Desktop, which is a system file for Finder. It will
also show these hidden files and folders files when installing new
applications, which risks confusing folks.
To re-enable the default Finder behavior, paste this in to a Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
HTH,
Marc Schwartz
