[R] Rcmdr problem - SciViews R

[John Fox]

Dear Philippe and Sachin,

The only packages that Rcmdr absolutely needs are tcltk and car; if other
packages (with the exception of rgl) are missing, then it will offer to
install them, so a manual install shouldn't be necessary. Another possible
source of problems, apparently, can be a saved workspace that is
automatically reloaded when R starts up.

Regards,
 John
