rgl configure error: "missing required library GL"

I wonder if this is related.  Package 'rgl' failed to load in an error
similar to one I've had previously.  It was working for a while and
now it is not working again.  R output attached

The aglrgl.so library is built from osxgui.mm and osxlib.cpp.

I'd been assuming the problem was an API change in recent OSX 64
bit, but maybe it's a problem with the makefiles or the compiler.
If you can suggest any fixes for this, I'd appreciate it.  (The
newest OSX that I have is 10.6.8.)

BTW, I see osxgui.o being of wrong architecture during an install

on 10.6.8 as well...

But I think this is caused by object files being left in the

tar.gz:

$ tar xzf rgl_0.92.880.tar.gz
$ find rgl -name \*.o |xargs file
rgl/src/AGL/x11gui.o: Mach-O object i386
rgl/src/AGL/x11lib.o: Mach-O object i386
rgl/src/osx/osxgui.o: Mach-O object i386
rgl/src/osx/osxlib.o: Mach-O object i386

Yay, nice catch!

This allows me to build an rgl that loads in R.app:

tar xvfz rgl_0.92.880.tar.gz
rm `find rgl -name \*.o`
R64 CMD INSTALL --configure-args=--with-gl-libs=/usr/X11/lib rgl

I still have some issues with the 32 bit version, but I believe
those are unrelated. (MacPorts seems to be interfering....)

Yes, nice catch indeed.   If you get the tarball from R-forge,
you'll get a slightly newer version, and no *.o files included. I'll
send that one to CRAN.
