Hi Duncan, Dirk, & Others,

Mine has also like this...
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so -> mesa/libGL.so  ->  libGL.so.1.2.0

however, I could not find the source of libGL.so.1.2.0

Dirk, I just now saw your response... Yes, r-cran-rgl and ibgl1-mesa-glx
<https://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/libgl1-mesa-glx-dbg> are the latest
available now.  How do I install R package "rgl" successfully? it gives the
error about glEnd... and removes the  R package "rgl".

Thanks again,
Santosh
