[Rd] rgl: bogus configure[.ac] (PR#14183)
Full_Name: Jens Elkner
Version: 2.10.1
OS: Solaris
Submission from: (NULL) (141.44.24.14)
The configure.ac is bogus, since it does not include additional library pathes
at the right place and thus fails. E.g.:
$R_HOME/bin/R CMD INSTALL -l $PROTO/R/library \
    --configure-args='--with-gl-includes=/usr/X11/include/NVIDIA
--with-gl-libs=/usr/X11/lib/NVIDIA/amd64' $TMPBUILD
And thus configure tries: cc ... -lGL -L/usr/X11/lib/NVIDIA/amd64
which obviously fails: the path needs to be placed before -l...
So the correct way is to add the path to LD_FLAGS instead of LIBS.
To get the path at the correct place into the to PKG_LIBS limitted Makevars,
one
needs to add the path, when the LIB expansion has been done. Suggested patch:

This isn't an R bug; please don't submit it to the R bug address. You should email such things to the package maintainer. In this case that's me, so I'll take a look. rgl (like many packages) also has its own bug tracker (on R-forge in the case of rgl); that's another good place to send bugs for such packages.
