Loading rgl fails on 2.7.0

Thanks Simon,

Where can I find the the configure output?

As to whether I have put /usr/X11/bin on my PATH, I edited the two  
files that --- according to my limited knowledge of Unix --- might be  
relevant. The problem persists.

****************
cat .cshrc:
****************

set path=($path /opt/local/bin /Applications/~LocalApps/sound/Cog)
if (! $?DISPLAY && ! $?SSH_CONNECTION ) then
   setenv DISPLAY `ps -ax | grep X11.app |  grep -v Xauthority  | grep  
-v grep | awk '{print $7}' `.0
     if ( $DISPLAY == '.0' )then
        setenv DISPLAY :0.0
     endif
   echo "lias SetTitle 'settitle \[tcsh\]\ \ \ $HOST:r:r\:\:$cwd '
alias cd 'cd \!*;SetTab;SetTitle'
SetTitle;SetTab

set prompt="tcsh-% "

ISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
endif

test -r /sw/bin/init.csh && source /sw/bin/init.csh

set path=(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin  
$path)

if ( -d /sw/bin ) then
	source /sw/bin/init.csh
endif

if (! $?DISPLAY && ! $?SSH_CONNECTION ) then
   setenv DISPLAY `ps -wwx | grep -F X11.app | awk '{print $NF}' |  
grep -e ":[0-9]"`.0
     if ( $DISPLAY == '.0' )then
        setenv DISPLAY :0.0
     endif
   echo "DISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
endif

alias settitle 'echo -n "

set path=(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin  
$path $PATH /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11/bin)

****************
cat .bashrc:
****************

if [[ -z $DISPLAY && -z $SSH_CONNECTION ]]; then
     disp_no=($( ps -ax | grep X11.app | grep -v Xauthority | grep -v  
grep | awk '{print $7}' ))
     if [[ -n $disp_no ]];then
         export DISPLAY=${disp_no}.0
     else
         export DISPLAY=:0.0
     fi
     echo "DISPLAY has been set to $DISPLAY"
fi
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE
export PATH="/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/ 
sbin:$PATH"

Michael,

are you sure you have put /usr/X11/bin on your PATH? That is  
probably the most common mistake. The safest bet to see what went  
wrong is to look at the configure output.

Cheers,
Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks. So in Terminal:

MK-MacPro:lib mk$ cd /usr/X11/lib
MK-MacPro:lib mk$ sudo bash
Password:
bash-3.2# mv libGL.dylib libGL.dylib.apple
bash-3.2# ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/ 
Libraries/libGL.dylib .

Then in R:

install.packages('rgl', type = 'source', lib = '/Library/ 

Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/library')
trying URL 'http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/src/contrib/rgl_0.76.tar.gz'
