rgl, Leopard, 64 bit
Thanks. I was indeed trying to build a Carbon version. I'd love to see it run natively -- it would surely look a lot better, and it seems to me that pretty graphics are the whole point of this package -- but X11 works fine for me. Sorry for the bother. Matt

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 don't have access to a 64 bit Mac, and are waiting for someone 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, Matt
