Hi All, Duncan, Rolf, Ista, DIrk, Thanks for the suggestions and I tried all of them (as suggested by Duncan, Rolf, Ista and Dirk)... I still get similar error as before while installing 'rgl' package.. I also tried to manually configure "rgl" and got an error message (please see below for the verbatim output). Would highly any further ideas/suggestions! *In my system, "GL" library is present under "/usr/include/GL"* Here are the libraries available (as suggested by Rolf) After installing some of them, I continue to get the same error message, please below the output messages in config.log after I ran "./configure") "ii r-cran-rgl 0.93.996-1 amd64 GNU R package for three-dimensional visualisation using OpenGL" "ii libegl1-mesa:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the EGL API -- runtime" "ii libegl1-mesa-dev 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the EGL API -- development files" "ii libegl1-mesa-drivers:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the EGL API -- hardware drivers" "ii libgl1-mesa-dev 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX development files" "ii libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- DRI modules" "ii libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the OpenGL API -- GLX runtime" "ii libglapi-mesa:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 free implementation of the GL API -- shared library" "ii libglu1-mesa:amd64 9.0.0-2 amd64 Mesa OpenGL utility library (GLU)" "ii libglu1-mesa-dev 9.0.0-2 amd64 Mesa OpenGL utility library -- development files" "ii libwayland-client0:amd64 1.4.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 wayland compositor infrastructure - client library" "ii libwayland-cursor0:amd64 1.4.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 wayland compositor infrastructure - cursor library" "ii libwayland-dev 1.4.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 wayland compositor infrastructure - development files" "ii libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 implementation of the Wayland EGL platform -- runtime" "ii libwayland-server0:amd64 1.4.0-1ubuntu1 amd64 wayland compositor infrastructure - server library" "ii mesa-common-dev 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 Developer documentation for Mesa" "ii mesa-vdpau-drivers:amd64 10.1.3-0ubuntu0.6 amd64 Mesa VDPAU video acceleration drivers" "ii mesa-utils 8.1.0-2 amd64 Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities" The error message when installing "rgl" library, * installing *source* package ?rgl? ... checking for gcc... gcc -std=gnu99 checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking for suffix of executables... checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc -std=gnu99 accepts -g... yes checking for gcc -std=gnu99 option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -std=gnu99 -E checking for gcc...

The error is saying you don't have libGL.so, which it is looking for in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu. Do you have that file? Is it there, and marked as executable? It's probably a symbolic link; on an old Ubuntu system I just checked, it points to mesa/libGL.so, which is also a symlink, pointing to mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0, which is executable.

Hi Duncan, and others.. Yes, below are the search results. it is linked to mesa/libGL.so and is again point to libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.2.0 . However, I could not find libGL.so.1.2.0 or its source. Where is libGL.so.1.2.0 expected to be located? /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so Thanks again, Santosh On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 12:39 PM, Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.duncan at gmail.com> wrote:> On 24/11/2017 2:30 PM, Santosh wrote: > >> Hi All, Duncan, Rolf, Ista, DIrk, >> >> Thanks for the suggestions and I tried all of them (as suggested by >> Duncan, >> Rolf, Ista and Dirk)...

You have it from Ubuntu. >Actually the version on CRAN is pretty old, so I'd recommend people do install it from source, getting the source from R-forge. Since that is a development site the quality varies over time, but right at this minute I would say it is better than the CRAN version. Re Santosh's error messages: it looks as though the Mesa installation is messed up. I'd recommend uninstalling it, making sure there's no remnant of Mesa anywhere, then reinstalling it. Duncan Murdoch
