Hi folks,

Re: Installation of rgl and tkrplot

Problem solved as follows;

On Debian 504 64-bit console:-

$ sudo aptitude remove r-cran-rgl
$ sudo aptitude remove r-cran-tkrplot

$ sudo aptitude install libglu1-mesa-dev
$ sudo aptitude install tk8.5-dev

On R

1)
> install.packages("rgl", dependencies = TRUE)
......
** R
** demo
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded

* DONE (rgl)

The downloaded packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpYUqOHq/downloaded_packages’

2)
> install.packages("tkrplot", dependencies = TRUE)
......
** preparing package for lazy loading
Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded

* DONE (tkrplot)

The downloaded packages are in
    ‘/tmp/RtmpYUqOHq/downloaded_packages’

Thanks

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your advice.

OS - Debian 504 64-bit

$ apt-cache search rgl
r-cran-misc3d - GNU R collection of 3d plot functions and rgl-based isosurfaces
r-cran-rgl - GNU R package for three-dimensional visualisation using OpenGL
sanduhr - An alarm clock designed as an hourglass

$ sudo aptitude install r-cran-rgl
no complaint

$ apt-cache search tkrplot
r-cran-misc3d - GNU R collection of 3d plot functions and rgl-based isosurfaces
r-cran-tkrplot - GNU R embedded Tk plotting device package

$ apt-cache policy r-cran-tkrplot
r-cran-tkrplot:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.0.18-1
  Version table:
     0.0.18-1 0
        500 http://ftp.hk.debian.org lenny/main Packages

$ sudo aptitude install r-cran-tkrplot
No complaint

Hoping that those are the correct packages needed??

It means that two of the packages on which "TeachingDemos" depends were not 
installed correctly, namely "rgl" and "tkplot".

The problem could be that you do not have the system dependencies in place.  For 

rgl these are listed as:

SystemRequirements:            OpenGL, GLU Library, zlib (optional), libpng
                               (>=1.2.9, optional), FreeType (optional)
The rgl url is
URL:                          http://rgl.neoscientists.org

The tklplot package is not so explicit, though.

Best of luck.

Hi folks,

On R

> install.packages("TeachingDemos", dependencies=TRUE)
......
installing to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/mapproj/libs
** R
** inst
** preparing package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices
** building package indices ...
** testing if installed package can be loaded

* DONE (mapproj)

The downloaded packages are in
    '/tmp/Rtmp3CKVAs/downloaded_packages'
Warning messages:
1: In install.packages("TeachingDemos", dependencies = TRUE) :
  installation of package 'tkrplot' had non-zero exit status
2: In install.packages("TeachingDemos", dependencies = TRUE) :
  installation of package 'rgl' had non-zero exit status

What do the warnings indicate?  Was the package installed correctly?  TIA
