I had the same problem a few days ago, and followed the
recommendations of this message:
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e6/help/09/03/9250.html
which fixed it for me.

You don't have X11 headers. Run the second command above if you really want
to build the package.

That means you are using an R binary capable of _running_ under X11. This
says nothing about compiling.

As (almost) always: get the proper -dev packages for headers and libs.

R will have X11 capabilities if you have the X11 _binary_ library
installed. To compile a package from source that needs to link with
the X11 library you need the development headers. They come in another
package.
From the command line, do:
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
and that should pull them from the Ubuntu repository. You'll need the
root password for this.
It's possible you may need some other development headers once you
get past the X11 problem!

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?
