Hello! Interesting thing is that I cannot install rgl. It reports: checking for X... no configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl? * Removing ?/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rgl? I am pretty sure that my X11 is fine. Does anyone know why I got this error message? Best, PM
Petar, Before we can answer your question, we need more information about your system. What version of R are you using? What version of Debian/Ubuntu? I was able to run rgl just fine on my Ubuntu jaunty 64bit with R 2.9. Michael Petar Milin wrote:> Hello! > Interesting thing is that I cannot install rgl.

Thanks and sorry! I am using: R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17), on Debian testing with apt-pinning for R base packages.

No, no, sorry: I did read and tried, but no success, again. Failed at exactly the same spot. However, at least I have rgl via apt-get.

Hello, again!
Sorry for being tedious, that's because of having no experience enough,
but I really want to learn.
Please, let me know what I am doing wrong now; I did following:
1. apt-get install -t unstable r-cran-rgl
2. then, from R, tried to do install.packages("rgl"), but that failed
for same reasons as before:
checking for X... no
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl?
3. then, I tried apt-get build-dep r-cran-rgl, and it went fine
4. finally, back to install.packages("rgl"), and now it failed for
some
other reasons:
checking for GL/glu.h... yes
checking for glEnd in -lGL... no
configure: error: missing required library GL
ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl?
I think I did everything you said in your previous letters. Please, bear
with me and let me learn and fix this.
Thank you. Best,
PM
