Dear R People:
Here is something strange. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with R 2.9.0.
I need to have the rgl package. Here are my results from installing:
install.packages("rgl")
Warning in install.packages("rgl") :
argument 'lib' is missing: using '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library'

So presumably there is not an X11. But when I put in "capabilities",
it seems to be there.

Has anyone run into this, please? What are the solutions, please?
Sounds as though you don't have the development libraries for X11, or
perhaps the rgl configure script isn't finding them. Do you have
libx11-dev installed?
