Does the Mac version of R include tcltk? There is a section in the R Mac FAQ:

about tcltk issues on R for Mac but its not clear to me from this
whether tcltk is
or is not included and I don't have a Mac to try it out.


Gabor, the full universal binary disk image (.dmg) does include tcl/tk if the user installs R that way. The 'mini' image does not, so would require the user to install tcl/tk separately.

More info here:

  http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/

Supplemental tools for OSX, including tcl/tk, are available from:

  http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

One can of course also build from source code on OSX, which is what I do. More information on that approach is at:
