[R] installing rgl

[Weiner, Michael]

I have a Fedora linux 24 64bit workstation I am trying to install rgl on and I keep running into this error:

trying URL 'https://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/src/contrib/rgl_0.97.0.tar.gz'

Warning message:

As you can see, it finds the GL headers, but fails on glEnd and then complains it cannot find the GL libraries. I have the mesa-libGL mesa-libGL-devel mesa-libGLU mesa-libGLU-devel packages installed but I still get the errors.

Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance
