Dear Ethan Chang, it seems the problem starts with the installation of rgl:
* installing *source* package ???rgl??? ... checking for gcc... gcc 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 accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for gcc...

You can try installing the Ubuntu package of rgl via sudo aptitude install r-cran-rgl and try installing the demography package again. Johannes
