Hello.
I'm having trouble installing rgl. I have a theory as to the problem.
First, the error message and session info.

So, the error appears to be related to libGL (or libGLU?). I am running
OpenSUSE 10.2. I have the OpenGL packages installed. I have the MESA
and MESA-devel packages installed which provide libGL.so.1 and
libGLU.so.1. I also have the fglrx (proprietary ATI driver package
installed) which also provides libGL.so.1 (but no libGLU.so.1). I
suspect that an incompatible libGL is being found (both versions appear
to be on the system in different directories).
How do I confirm if this is the case and force a particular lib file
during package installation?
rgl is now hosted on R-forge, at
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rgl/. You could post questions
there, and be one of the first to do so :-).
But the general idea is probably to run the configure script manually,
and look at the output. So you would download and untar rgl (or just
check it out using svn), then in the main directory, run ./configure.
I think this will produce a config.log file that you can check for all
the gory details.
