I've installed the rgl package on a Suse x86-64 machine (further details below) and it produces nice screen images. Unfortunately, rgl.snapshot attempts to make png files produces only the response "failed". For other graphics png() works fine, and capabilities indicates that it is there. If anyone has a suggestion of what might be explored at this point I'd be very appreciative. platform x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu arch x86_64 os linux-gnu system x86_64, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 1.0 year 2005 month 04 day 18 language R url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker email rkoenker at uiuc.edu Department of Economics vox: 217-333-4558 University of Illinois fax: 217-244-6678 Champaign, IL 61820

It hasn't been updated on CRAN in around a year, though I know he has been working on it (because I've been doing some work with him, though I haven't been in contact since February). I don't use Suse at all so I can't help you with your problem, but Daniel might be able to. Duncan Murdoch

Unfortunately, there is no solution in sight as far as I can tell. Regards, Dirk
