X11 missing? ... was Re: [R] rgl persp3d bounding box color problem.

I tried to install the current version of rgl on R-forge from source from the 
64 bit R-GUI and get this error during installation :

<entire listing copied below>
checking for X... no
configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgl'
** Removing '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/rgl'

The downloaded packages are in
	/private/var/folders/xS/xSUsVXTIHEiP7OLJg2OXmU+++TI/-Tmp-/Rtmp3Z2KtQ/downloaded_packages

I do have an X11 installation, XQuartz 2.3.1 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple17), and

wonder whether I need to do something to make X11's availability visible to 
the Installer? I believe that it loads under the 32 bit GUI although the 
version appears to be 0.82-2.

0.81 isn't the current version of rgl on CRAN.  Please try that one, or 
even better, the development version on R-forge.

Thanks Duncan.

I haven't got a chance to try it in windows yet. But I won't be
surprised if it's my driver's fault. I had OpenGL problems on this
dell laptop before.....

here is the code

library(rgl)

plot1:
persp3d(x=1:11,y=1:210,z=matrix(rep(1,11*210),11,210),col=matrix(rep("#FF0000",11*210),11,210))


plot2:
persp3d(x=1:11,y=1:10,z=matrix(rep(1,11*10),11,10),col=matrix(rep("#FF0000",11*10),11,10))

Works fine on Mac OS 10.5 too.  Looks like a bug in your OpenGL
driver...

Thanks!

Thanks, Duncan.

What's your platform? Could this be an issues related to my
platform? I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit using cran's R package. I
built rgl package on my machine using install.packages(). I'm
going to give it a try in windows.

I would be very grateful if anyone using similar setup could
give it a try.

Thanks,
Bo

Hi guys,

I hit on a problem when I use rgl.

Could you try to run the code here in this link and see why
the first persp3d gives a red bounding box and the second
shows black?

They both show as black on my system.

(sorry for not pasting the code here directly but my previous
email got filtered by this list so I suspect my code looks
like spam to the spam filter)

I'm expecting black color to be the right result but the code
is virtually same except different data size. Looks like a mem
bug to me?


BTW you will need to install the rgl package

Thanks,

Bo
