rgl.open does not work

Yes. I think you want

#if MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED <= MAC_OS_X_VERSION_10_4
Thanks, that looks simple, and rgl still compiles in Tiger.  I'll commit 
the change as soon as I have an Internet connection again.

I'm still seeing problems with the display of glyphs: it appears that 
FTGL is not reading what FreeType sends properly, or FreeType is not 
reading the .ttf file properly.  For now I'm going to set 
useFreeType=FALSE on MacOSX.  It might help if FTGL could specify fonts 
by their characteristics, so I could use cairo or pango the way other 
devices do  -- but FTGL isn't currently being maintained.  Maybe it 
would be worth the effort to figure out what's going on in it and adding 
this myself.

for 10.4 and earlier.

        to

        #ifdef __APPLE_CC__
            typedef GLvoid (*GLUTesselatorFunction)();

        then rgl compiles on OS X (using g++-4.0, even with FTGL)

    I believe the first line is needed in 10.4.  Is there a
    conditional to select just that version?

                Dear Mac-R-users
                I installed the rgl package via the R-GUI installation
                menu as a   binary (version 0.79).
                I use the R- 2.7.1 and i run it on a intel Mac
                (Leopard 10.5.4).
                The command rgl.open() gives me the following error:
                error in rgl.open() : Cannot create font, error code: 1
                Any suggestion to solve my problem?

            Another suggestion:

            Don't use rgl.open, use open3d.  But before you do that, try

            r3dDefaults$useFreeType <- FALSE

            I don't know how to get FTGL/Freetype to run properly on
            MacOSX, but  this avoids trying.
