Loading rgl fails on 2.7.0
Michael, please read R for Mac OS X FAQ (even more so if you are using R-devel) - apparently you are using Leopard, so you have to fix X11 first - see also http://r.research.att.com/building.html (which is mentioned in the FAQ) Cheers, Simon BTW: You said R crashed on you - can you, please, send us the crash report? I can only repeat that posting "R crashed" without any report is the most rude thing one can do - it is the same as saying "I know how I could help others but I refuse to tell anyone". So pretty please with a cherry on top ... report crashes!

You need the development libraries, not just the run-time components. On Tue, 12 Feb 2008, Michael Kubovy wrote:
Thanks. I had already tried to install with menu Package & Data:Package Installer from CRAN (Sources). That crashed R. Now on your advice, I ran
