[R] Installing Package rgl - Compilation Fails

[Ranjan Maitra]

As the error message indicates, there is no GL/glu.h file installed in the system. If it is, the path is not properly set.

% yum provides GL/glu.h

on FC6 should give you some clues and tell you what to install, and also whether it should be installed.
