Hello, I have been experiencing an odd error with the RGL package that I cannot figure out. I have searched without luck for fixes to this problem on Rseek, Google, and the R-help-list.
RGL used to work on my machine about a month ago. It was a very useful tool. The graphics device will not initialize now, and I cannot figure out why. When I try to load the package using ... > library(rgl) ... I get a warning message: Warning messages: 1: In rgl.init(initValue) : RGL: no suitable visual available 2: In fun(...) : error in rgl_init I also notice I cannot open a new rgl device: > open3d() Error in rgl.open() : rgl.open failed I am on MacOS 10.6.5. X11 is installed and is working to my knowledge. Does anybody have any suggestions to figure this problem out? I tried reinstalling the RGL package (v0.92.794), I tried removing all but the base R packages, I tried installing from both source and binary, I tried re-installing R (v2.12.0). No luck with any of these ideas.
