Dear All,
I am trying to install rgl on my mac notebook from the source file. I tried
using: /usr/bin/R64 CMD INSTALL rgl_0.92.798.tar.gz and get the following
error message:
checking for X... no
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl?
* removing
?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/rgl?
* restoring previous
?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/rgl?
I do see a directory X11 installed under /usr and Sys.getenv("PATH")
inside R gives me: [1]
"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin"
Could you please hep me to install rgl package?

Please ask about OS X on R-sig-mac . There is something you have not installed on your OS, but it will probably need several rounds to find what (and it will be not just Mac-specific but depend on the exact versions of OS X (which you told us) and Xcode (which you did not)).

I have no knowledge about Mac OS, but in my system, Debian GNU/Linux, the needed libraries to build rgl from source are: libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <hans at sociologi.cjb.net>
