How do I make this reproducible and I will do it.

this is the message that I got:

Error in fun(...) : couldn't connect to display ":0.0"
Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'tcltk'




The first line is the really relevant one. I guess you have no X available (or not forwarded via ssh) or whatever, but the package starts some GUI stuff.

(It looks like the package or a dependency depends on tcltk, so that does get loaded for the codetools checks and fails.)

If this is a vanilla Unix-alike this only happens if you have DISPLAY set and no X running on the setting (at least in tolerably recent R).

However, I've just seen a message from ssefick on R-sig-mac, so that he forgot to tell us the minimum information asked for in the posting guide is perhaps extremely relevant. If this is a Mac, the exact OS matters as it is supposed to auto-start an X server. Maybe unsetting DISPLAY will work, otherwise seek advice from an expert on the unstated OS.
