Happy to report that running the Software Update (after Repair Disk
Permissions), installing XQuartz, and reinstalling R and Rcmdr did the
trick for student with the 10.6.8.
Two other students with 10.6.8 Macs reported success running the Software

Dear Brian,
I've modified the Mac installation instructions again to add back the check
for a prior installation of X-Windows. The instructions are at

Sarah,
note that 10.7.2 is way old - there have been many patch releases since then so
first thing I'd suggest is to run Software Update. XQuartz doesn't remove
system X11 if installed, so it's not necessarily relevant (it depends on the
local setup) - OS updates may be more important here.

Running the Software Update and reinstalling R and Rcmdr worked for the
student with the 10.7.2. We did not reinstall XQuartz. Now I will see if it
works for the others. BTW - I have identified at least one student with a
