rgl on macosx
Ciao Simone, the problem is that apparently libpng is not present on your system. On http://www.economia.unimi.it/R/ you find some insturctions on how to get this dll even though you need to install the Apple Developer Tools first. BTW, as rgl is X11 based, you need to first launch the X11 windows server and then try to load the rgl package. stefano

Dear prof. Iacus,
I'm a newbie in R, and I'm interested in rgl package, because of my
work on social network analysis (I use sna package, but I would like to
use rgl to plot 3D graphs).
My problem is that I cannot find a way to load it, because the command
library(rgl) gives me this output:
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
unable to load shared library
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so":
dlcompat: dyld: /Applications/R.app/Contents/MacOS/R can't open
library: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib (No such file or directory,
errno = 2)
Error in library(rgl) : .First.lib failed for 'rgl'
Error in .C(symbol.C("rgl_quit"), success = FALSE, PACKAGE = "rgl") :
C function name not in DLL for package rgl
I try to change
Sys.putenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"=gsub("/usr/X11R6/
lib","",Sys.getenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH")))
in
Sys.putenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"=gsub("/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/
Versions/2.0.1/Resources/library/rgl/
libs/","",Sys.getenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH")))
in rgl's .First.lib function, but still get no results. I see that the
path it tries to follow doesn't match with the path that I use (which
is correct), but it's the only clue I can give you.
Can you help me?
thank you in advance,
Simone Gabbriellini
ps: I'm having trouble also with the packages manager, which freeze R
while it tries to load the package (I think that it's in looking for
the documentation of the package but could not find it...)
