[R] Rggobi compilation error: display.c

[Yuelin Li]

On a ubuntu linux computer (Feisty, i386), I compile R and additional
packages from source.  The compiler is gcc 4.1.2.

The problem is, I can run "sudo R" and successfully compile all
packages (e.g., MASS, lattice) except rggobi.  The error seems to be
in display.c.  My ggobi is in /usr/local/, which R can find.  I don't
think this is a dependence issue because install.packages(...,
dependence=TRUE).  The script complains about not finding
"/usr/local/lib/R/library/rggobi/libs/*", but that directory is there,
with one file "rggobi.so" (possibly from an earlier successful
compilation).

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?  Many thanks in advance.

Yuelin.
