Thanks Rob, that's a very good trick to know.
Duncan's suggestion about using configure.args="--disable-cocoa" worked for me
- I have an rgl installation that works interactively. Now however, when I try
to install a source package that uses rgl, I get the following (also sent to
Duncan separately). Does this ring any bells? I'm not sure what the install
process is doing with dependent packages that is different, but obviously it
doesn't like something. Thank you. Bryan
