Hello!
This last advice completely solved my problems with rgl. So, after apt-get install r-cran-rgl and apt-get build-dep r-cran-rgl, I did apt-get install nvidia-glx-dev, and then I was able to do install.packages("rgl") from R.

Thank you so very much for the patience!

Best,
PM

Hello, again!
Sorry for being tedious, that's because of having no experience enough, but I really want to learn.

Please, let me know what I am doing wrong now; I did following:

1. apt-get install -t unstable r-cran-rgl

2. then, from R, tried to do install.packages("rgl"), but that failed for same reasons as before:
   checking for X... no
   configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
   ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl?

3. then, I tried apt-get build-dep r-cran-rgl, and it went fine

well, what did it install? I just did the same on my machine, and it
wanted to remove nvidia-glx-dev, which provides the headers for the
proprietary driver I am using with my nvidia card, and it wanted to
install mesa headers. So if you use the nvidia driver like me, you
should not use the above line, but just apt-get install nvidia-glx-dev.
Works fine over here on lenny, using the R 2.9.0 from CRAN.

4. finally, back to install.packages("rgl"), and now it failed for some other reasons:
   checking for GL/glu.h... yes
   checking for glEnd in -lGL... no
   configure: error: missing required library GL
   ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl?

I think I did everything you said in your previous letters. Please, bear with me and let me learn and fix this.

Thank you. Best,
PM
