Hi Simon, I think I have some issue with the tcltk package. If I try to follow your instructions I obtain the following:
> library(tcltk) Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... > It doesn't say 'done' after the three points. If then I try to load some other package, I obtain the caugh segfault error. If instead I try to open the Package Manager I see that the tcltk package has the status 'not loaded'. Then I click on it and the status 'loaded' appears, but R get frozen. It try continuously to load something for some second, and then it get frozen. The only way is to force quit. Moreover I tried to get Tcl/Tk from this source: http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/download.html but I understand nothing, I am not able to install it on my pc, the read me files are incomprehensible to me, too much technical, and they say nothing about installation. Do you know how to do?
