I'm trying to install rgl 0.71 on a redhat enterprise 4, x86_64.  I have
tried using R 2.2.1, 2.3.1, and 2.5.0.  I have successfully installed
this version of rgl, using R 2.2.1 on an rhel4 i386 host.  On the x86_64
host, I receive the following configuration error:

** Removing '/usr/local/R-2.3.1/library/rgl'

 

I have verifed libraries are in the correct locations.  Both hosts were
built using an <almost> identical kickstart configuration file, the only
difference being the installation of 64 bit versions of packages on the
x86_64 hosts (i386 versions of many packages are installed on the x86_64
host also).  The x86_64 host has slightly newer versions of some
packages, as it is ahead of the i386 host in our patch rotation.  The
OpenGL libraries are installed with 

xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL, xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU, xorg-x11-devel.  Freeglut and
freeglut-devel are also installed.  I have tried pointing the
installation in various directions for headers and libraries.

 

I apologize if I've missed any important/necessary information, and will
provide any additional info required.  Any and all assistance is greatly
appreciated.

 

Thanks
