I appreciate all the help. For me:
> Sys.getenv("PATH")
PATH
"/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin"
I suspect that I have in the past read that the system $PATH is not
the correct place to let R know where libraries are located but I
certainly had forgotten that important fact. I will re-read the
Installation Manual and modify my .Rprofile accordingly.
I have loaded the devpack4 from Urbanek's website in the past and I do
have what appears to be a similar version of libfreetype.a
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a: Mach-O universal binary with 4
architectures
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a (for architecture i386): current ar
archive random library
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a (for architecture ppc): current ar
archive random library
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a (for architecture x86_64): current ar
archive random library
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a (for architecture ppc64): current ar
archive random library
Thank you all once more;

David,
I did notice in your log.txt file the following message:

I don't have a libfreetype.dylib, and for anyone who wants to
distribute packages you do want to link statically. So if you move
libfreetype.dylib out of the way (and have devpack4 installed), you
should get a statically linked build and a loadable package.
I'm not going to try to track down the path issues further: if I
add /usr/X11/bin to the path in R.app, rgl works for me. So it must
some aspect of the R.app environment for others. For the record
Sys.getenv("PATH")

The R-forge version also works.
It seems a bit far fetched for the missing symbol to come from that
library though (but this is a
JavaScripter/pythoneer talking :-).
As I normally work on R-2.9, I just went back to R-2.8.1 and tried
the terminal procedure.
Got the rgl examples running without problems. So that is not the
cause of the error message either.
I also noticed you are using the latest rgl from R-Forge (83-751),
while I was using 83-3.
Both versions work on my system.
If someone could help out where _FT_Attach_File comes from ...

Tried that method:

David,
On my system libpng-config and xmkmf are in /usr/X11/bin, as on
your system.
Adding /usr/X11/bin to my path did not help. I think /usr/X11R6
is just a link back to /usr/X11.
Did you try the terminal suggestion?
Download rgl_0.83-3.tar.gz from CRAN, then in a terminal
Robs-Intel:~ rob$ pwd
/Users/rob
Robs-Intel:~ rob$ cd Downloads/ # To wherever the
rgl.....tar.gz got stored
Robs-Intel:Downloads rob$ ls
Cappuccino_Developer_Tools.pkg

I know, it is not the ultimate solution, but it might help to
know this works on your system.
