Dear R wizards, In windows I get really cool graphs with the rgl package. However on linux, it seems that I can't install one of my favourite packages. I get a error message on X11, but all X11 packages are installed on my linux desktop. Who can help me out here? Thanks!

I've never used SUSE, but on my Fedora system the relevant package is: xorg-x11-devel I think suse uses the Xorg flavour of X so there is a chance the package will be similarly named. If so, install it (or the correct package) and try again. At a terminal, typing rpm -qa | grep x11 might help show you if the basic package is xorg-x11 for which you'd need the devel package mentioned above, or point you in the direction of the correct package to install HTH G> > Thanks! > > Steven Gorl? > > > >install.packages() > > * Installing *source* package 'rgl' ... > checking for gcc... gcc > checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out > checking whether the C compiler works... yes > checking whether we are cross compiling... no > checking for suffix of executables... > checking for suffix of object files... o > checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes > checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes > checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed > checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E > checking for X... no > configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. > ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgl' > ** Removing '/usr/lib/R/library/rgl' > > The downloaded packages are in > /tmp/RtmpUAg2Xh/downloaded_packages > Warning message: > installation of package 'rgl' had non-zero exit status in: install.packages() > > > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 UCL Department of Geography Pearson Building [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street London, UK [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ WC1E 6BT [w] http://www.freshwaters.org.uk/ %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%
