R help - May 2011 - Problem rgl

Dear List,

I'm using R on a Fedora 14 32 bit machine and I'm trying to use the
rgl-package, but get the following error-messages:
> library(rgl)
Warnmeldungen:
1: In rgl.init(initValue) : RGL: no suitable visual available
2: In fun(...) : error in rgl_init
> plot3d()
Fehler in rgl.cur() : rgl_dev_getcurrent

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Marco

I don't know how to solve it, but I can tell you what the message means:

On your platform rgl needs to use X11, and it is apparently not able to 
get the type of "visual" it needs from X11 on your host.  Do other X11
programs work?
