Updating packages after install of r-base 2.6.2: cant update rgl
Hi Michael, * Michael Friendly <friendly at yorku.ca> [080409 22:00]:
Hi I just upgraded my R from stabel/etch from 2.4.x to 2.6.2 via sudo apt-get install r-base which worked fine, installing all dependencies
I suppose you put some CRAN mirror into your /etc/apt/sources.list?
From R, as root, I did update.packages() but a number of packages packages failed to install, either for missing gfortran or missing dependencies.
Yes, you need to explicitly upgrade r-base-dev, too, if you want to install packages from CRAN. ...
... OK, I installed r-base-dev to get gfortran and other dependencies, then tried update.packages() again. This time only rgl failed, complaining about missing X11: trying URL 'http://probability.ca/cran/src/contrib/rgl_0.77.tar.gz' Content type 'application/x-tar' length 803692 bytes (784 Kb) opened URL ================================================== downloaded 784 Kb * Installing *source* package 'rgl' ... checking for gcc... gcc -std=gnu99 checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc -std=gnu99 accepts -g... yes checking for gcc -std=gnu99 option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -std=gnu99 -E checking for gcc...

ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgl' ** Removing '/usr/lib/R/site-library/rgl' ** Restoring previous '/usr/lib/R/site-library/rgl'
Ok, I just did this on one of my etch boxes with CRAN R (and X
installed):
cecking for X... libraries , headers
checking GL/gl.h usability... yes
checking GL/gl.h presence... yes
checking for GL/gl.h... yes
checking GL/glu.h usability... yes
checking GL/glu.h presence... yes
checking for GL/glu.h... yes
checking for glEnd in -lGL... yes
checking for gluProject in -lGLU... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating src/Makevars
So it works over here... On another box, without OpenGL, it fails, as
one would expect. On a third box, where I have no X installed, it fails,
too, with exactly the error message you quoted above.
Could you give us the output of
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core
or just tell us if you have Xorg installed?
Best regards,
Johannes
Finally, I tried to install r-cran-rgl, but with no joy: euclid:~# apt-get install r-cran-rgl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done r-cran-rgl is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 267 not upgraded. Can anyone suggest what is wrong and how to fix it? thanks, -Michael -- Michael Friendly Email: friendly at yorku.ca Professor, Psychology Dept.
