R help - Apr 2007 - compile errors with rgl-0.70.570 on FreeBSD

Thank you for your work on rgl.

Reading in another thread about your new (inofficial) version of rgl 
(see below) I tried it with R version 2.5.0 alpha (2007-03-31 r40986) 
under FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT. Unfortunately I got the following error:

-------

ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgl'
** Removing '/usr/local/lib/R/library/rgl'
** Restoring previous '/usr/local/lib/R/library/rgl'

This version is not able to find any GL files on my system.

I did not have any problems compiling rgl_0.70.564.tar.gz.

If I can test anything please let me know.

Rainer,

I have same problem in my Ubuntu.
I solve instaling OpenGl in system, in my case I install this debian
poackages:

freeglut3, freeglut3-dev, libgl1-mesa-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libice-dev,
libsm-dev, libx11-dev, libxau-dev, libxdmcp-dev, libxext-dev, libxt-dev,
mesa-common-dev, x11proto-core-dev, x11proto-input-dev, x11proto-kb-dev,
x11proto-xext-dev, xlibmesa-gl-dev and xtrans-dev

If you install similar packages in your system  I think your problem
will be solve.
