[R] installing rgl package on linux platform

[Leeds, Mark (IED)]

I am using Redhat Linux and my info is below. I was trying to install
the rgl package using R CMD INSTALL and it was doing
fine until it got to the compilation of a pixmap program ? Does anyone
know what I could do to fix that ? Is it possible that
this package is not usable on this platform ? Thanks.
