You are doing better than me.  My attempt to install rgl from source  
ends thus:
g++ -no-cpp-precomp -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ 
include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Headers  -I/usr/ 
X11R6/include -DDarwin -DNO_GL_PREFIX -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/ 
local/include  -Wall -pedantic -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fno-common   
-g -O2 -c scene.cpp -o scene.o
types.h:76: warning: 'class DestroyHandler' has virtual functions but  
non-virtual destructor
gui.h:55: warning: 'class gui::WindowImpl' has virtual functions but  
non-virtual destructor
gui.h:89: warning: 'class gui::GUIFactory' has virtual functions but  
non-virtual destructor
pixmap.h:39: warning: 'class PixmapFormat' has virtual functions but  
non-virtual destructor
scene.cpp: In member function 'void Texture::beginUse(RenderContext*)':
scene.cpp:1994: error: invalid conversion from 'int*' to 'GLint*'
make: *** [scene.o] Error 1

which looks pretty terminal.

I fudged up the code in scene.cpp and got it to install. Now I have  
your problem.  I assume this is because the R binary has been built  
without libpng.  Mine certainly was.  I will try again with libpng.

PS Rebuilt R with libpng and now it all works.
