[R-sig-Debian] Problems with CRAN package rgl
Hola! I am on debian squeeze, R-2.12.0 compiled from source running fine. I have installed rgl from source, installation proceeds without any messages, but trying to load it with library(rgl) I get: Warning messages: 1: In rgl.init(initValue) : RGL: GLX extension missing on server 2: In fun(...) : error in rgl_init What is missing?

Google for the error message. Your graphocs card is not configured for GL making the whole point of rgl a little ... difficult.

Though X has become rather sophisticated about auto-detecting GL which would make we wonder a bit. I presume that some library is missing. Is the game neverball working for you? Does that install libgl1-mesa-glx | libgl1 or is it allready installed? What about BALLview, does that start? Please give those programs a try and if they work then try rgl again. If the error persists then this will certainly cause some head scratching. If not, then the dependencies are incomplete. Best, Steffen
