rgl, Leopard, 64 bit

rgl attempts on OS X to build both X11 and 'Carbon' versions.  You  
can inhibit the latter by

R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--disable-carbon'  .../rgl_0.81.tar.gz

The X11 version does work -- had you not tried that?

A native Mac OS X version will be a lot more work, so to encourage  
people you will need to explain what is not enough in the X11 version.

I was referring to the native version alone. I guess I have  
misinterpreted the original question. I have a prototype of the native  
version that could be used in 64-bit if anyone is keen enough to clean  
up rgl... Either way IMHO the configure script should check whether  
the Carbon version can be built at all.

Cheers,
S

Looking through the archives, I see that the developers of rgl

else to take the initiative and make an appropriate patch.   
Unfortunately, I think this is beyond my abilities.  Has anyone  
been able to get it to work?
I now have a 64-bit Mac (10.5.6), and probably the abilities. If  
you could collect together the relevant posts, I will endeavour to  
take a look (unless Simon has already got there).  Please post a  
follow-up posting for future reference, and include the rgl  
maintainers (who I suspect do not read R-sig-mac).

Thanks,
