RGL library loading issues

Dear group:
I installed rgl on my mac through terminal.   I used
install.packages(rgl) and selected 118 server option.
Installation went well until, I get message checking if installed
packages working  and nothing happens.
I opened another terminal window and types library(rgl)  and I see my
X11quartz starts open.. and thats it.
Nothing happens after that - meaning I don't get > prompt in R window.
ctrl-c does not work, ctrl-d does not work.

library(rgl)

^C
^D




Finally I had to kill -1 <PID>.

what could be the issue? appreciate your help.

Thanks
Adrian

I haven't seen these symptoms before.  You're using a fairly old version of R, and of MacOS; I don't do any testing on those versions any more. Did you install from source? Which version of rgl did you install?
