Dear all, I was willing to use the library "rgl" to plot some 3D graphics, but unfortunately, I wan't able to instal the library. The error message is below. I would be very grateful if you could give me any clues about how I can solve this. Below you will find : - installation from binaries - installation from sources - sessionInfo()
The error messages in the"sources" install dialog suggests a problem with your system installation of freetype. I was running rgl v0.92.861 on Leopard without problems. I just tried installing the current version offered to the GUI installer, v0.92.880, restarting and got an error on attempting to load while in version 2.14.2, After updating R to the current version I am able to install rgl_0.92.892 from binary using the GUI Package Installer and then load and run code in either R64 or 32-bit R.

You have a fairly full system. I wonder if you should restart and try with a few less packages? And as Duncan suggested, you _should_ be posting on the R-SIG-Mac list.
Yes. The new CRAN binaries work for me too (and are in the non-X11 version if run from the R app). For source compiles, I think you need to follow the hint about libraries for dependencies at the bottom of http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/. I believe we have seen the R_decompress1 error before, though. If you can reproduce it, it might be worth digging deeper --- over on R-sig-Mac.
