Dear Brian,
Thanks for this. When the Tktable package is available in the arm64
macOS binary, I'll test it.
Best,
John

(2) The Tcl/Tk Tktable package is apparently absent from the arm64
build but still present in the Intel build. The Rcmdr detects its
absence and suppresses some features (i.e., those requiring the Rcmdr
data editor). I understand that the Tktable package is problematic
and it may have been removed intentionally.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tktable/files/tktable/2.10/Tktable2.10.tar.gz
(apparently the latest version from 2008)
does not compile against recent Tcl/Tk (8.6.11 seems to be used): it
uses 'panic' which should be 'Tcl_Panic'. (The Intel build appears
to be much older, 8.6.6.)
I have a patched version: AFAICS it installs entirely into
/opt/R/arm64/lib I could tar it up and make it available.
I could also send the patch to Simon for future use, but note that
https://mac.r-project.org/libs-arm64/ contains an aqua build of Tcl/Tk
(not the X11 build in the CRAN build of R 4.1.[01]) and which does not
support Tcl/Tk.
I have put the patch and the tarball at
https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/Tktable/ .
There is a README.txt with installation instructions. But as I have only
one M1 Mac, they are minimally tested.
