Re: [R-SIG-Mac] [R] problem with the installation of r commander on a mac
Dear Marco, To provide some background, you and I have corresponded about your problem, and now at least you appear to have the tcltk package installed. Did you reinstall R as I suggested? Have you checked that tcltk is working, following the instructions I sent you in an earlier email? I don't believe that the Rcmdr ever calls tk_messageBox directly, but there is a tk_messageBox() function in tcltk, and you can check whether this is the source (or a symptom) of the problem by issuing the following commands in a fresh R session: library(tcltk) tk_messageBox(message=test) That should, as the function name suggests, bring up a Tk message box. Also I'm not sure what's going on with 'couldn't connect to display :0', which suggests an X-Windows issue. Finally, I'm moving this discussion to r-sig-mac, where you're more likely to get knowledgeable assistance.

In fun(libname, pkgname) : couldn't connect to display :0 suggests that X11 is not running. Note that X11 is no longer part of OS X since Mountain Lion.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] [R] problem with the installation of r commander on a mac
Dear Simon, Marco says that he installed XQuark (see his original message), which I translate as XQuartz. Marco, can you run XQuartz.app (in Utilities on my Mac), which should open an Xterm window?
