HelloIm trying to install package rgl in a freshly installed Ubuntu 8.04 system. I have a problem (actually is has been reported three times on the R-list but the answers were too complicated for me) when installing: configure: using libpng dynamic linkage 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' The downloaded packages are in /tmp/RtmpcnTzdW/downloaded_packages Warning message: In install.packages("rgl", dep = TRUE) : installation of package 'rgl' had non-zero exit status I see two potential explanations: -to use rgl I should install some OpenGl package... is it right? which one then?
No, it's some X11 package you need to install, whichever one contains the includes and development libraries. I'm not an Ubuntu user so I can't tell you which one. BTW, rgl is now on R-forge, so you could post questions there.

-rgl only needs x11 but does not find it. I see actually that there is no x11 in /usr/ but X11R6 does the problem come from that? PS: Im cross posting on R and rgl list Thank you for your help! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
