Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R commander installation problem (Mac OSX Capitan)

2016-06-01 Thread Fox, John 
Dear Candice,

I'm glad that you were able to get everything to work. The message offering to 
install additional packages on initial Rcmdr start-up is expected, as is 
mentioned in the R Commander installation notes.

My guess is that you didn't log out or reboot after installing XQuartz, 
something that the R Commander Mac installation notes tell you to do.

It's a good idea to keep the R-SIG-Mac list in the loop so that others who 
experience a similar problem will see the solution, so I've cc'ed the list.

Best,
 John

Dear Candice,

Your message is a bit hard to read -- R-SIG-Mac list doesn't accept HTML email 
and reformatted the message. Also, although you don't say so, I assume that 
you're using the current versions of R and the Rcmdr package. If you haven't 
already done so, please read the R Commander installation notes at 
<http://socserv.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/installation-notes.html>.

I don't know the source of your problem but it may help to try to isolate it. 
First, see whether the tcltk package -- a standard part of R -- is working. In 
a fresh session, type the command library(tcltk) at the > R command prompt and 
then the command tk_messageBox(message="test") . If that doesn't work, as is 
likely, you'll know that the problem isn't peculiar to the Rcmdr package.

Second, if you haven't already done so, log out of your account and then back 
in -- or just reboot your Mac -- and try again. You have to log out after 
installing XQuartz.

Next, try running R in a Mac terminal window (just type R at the terminal 
command prompt) rather than using R.app. See whether the tcltk and Rcmdr 
packages work when you bypass R.app.

Finally, try reinstalling everything -- R, the Rcmdr package, and XQuartz. 
Reboot and try again.

Let us know what happens.

I hope this helps,
 John

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] R commander installation problem (Mac OSX Capitan)

2016-06-01 Thread peter dalgaard 
Please avoid sending in HTML. It comes out barely readable (at best).

I don't see a problem with Rcmdr on Mavericks with R 3.3.0.

The error message points to a problem with the Tcl/Tk installation, probably 
not Rcmdr per se. 

To isolate the issue, you could try 

library(tcltk)
demo(tkfaq)

(or some of the other demos).
