Dear All, I am trying to install rgl from the source file: rgl_0. I tried using: /usr/bin/R64 CMD INSTALL rgl_0.92.798.tar.gz and get the following error message: checking for X... no configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ?rgl? * removing ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/rgl? * restoring previous ?/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.14/Resources/library/rgl? I do see a directory X11 installed under /usr. Do I need to instruct rgl to look for /usr/X11/bin? If so, how do I do that?
Check if you have X11.app in /Applications/Utilities Also, when you get that sorted out, I think I needed to follow the instructions here: http://danbri.org/words/2011/12/08/761 in order to install rgl from source, namely you'd do: R CMD INSTALL rgl_0.92.798.tar.gz ?configure-args=??disable-carbon? rgl But, if you're not running R-devel, why not just install the prebuilt package using `install.packages`? (pretty sure that you'd still need to ensure X11 is installed, though) -steve
