[R-SIG-Mac] RGL again

[stefano iacus]

on Tiger, with R 2.1.1 from CRAN, if you install rgl with  
install.packages("rgl",type="source"), the rgl package builds fine  
(apart for small ld warnings) but the result is as reported by  
Anestis. If you don't have libpng in the system this doesn't hurt  
compilation.
You can install libpng in your system but this doesn't fix the problem.

Apart for png graphics, it seems to me that the rgl device has  
problems with refreshing (under tiger).
Points and lines are drawn but afterwards removed by an incomplete  
refresh.
I don't know if this also happens on 10.3.
