tcl error trying to run simile from R

I am trying to interact with a Simile model from R. I installed the simile package. When I run 
use.simile.at(path.to.installation), I get the following error:

Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") : 
  [tcl] can't find package Trf.

I am running R version 3.1.1 on a Mac with OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. 

What do I need to do to fix this?

 

Thanks.

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this!

On the Mac, Simile uses the system's built-in library of TclTk add-on packages. However these are not available by default to the TclTk package in R. In order to make them available, you need to execute an extra command after require(Simile):

tcl("lappend","auto_path","/System/Library/Tcl")

After doing this you can continue to set up the interface as described in the manuals.
