[R] installing "rgl" package

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")

That's the include file.  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.

[R] installing "rgl" package

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

That means you _have_ the rgl package installed, and can stop everything you
are doing.

You do _not_ need to install it from source via R. 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.
