It's in the .onLoad function in zzz.R:

   if ( .Platform$OS.type == "unix" ) {
     unixos <- system("uname",intern=TRUE)
     if ( unixos == "Darwin" ) {
       # For MacOS X we have to remove /usr/X11R6/lib from the 
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
       # because it would override Apple's OpenGL framework
 
Sys.putenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"=gsub("/usr/X11R6/lib","",Sys.getenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH")))
       if ( .Platform$GUI == "AQUA" &&
            file.exists(system.file("libs", "aglrgl.so", package = 
"rgl"))) {
         initValue <- 1
         rgl <<- "aglrgl"
       }
     }
   }

Does the lib get a different name or sit somewhere else on that system? 
  I have the file.exists test in case someone has configured not to 
build the AGL version, but maybe the filename is wrong.  Do you know a 
safe test to see if the lib exists?

The initialization is currently done in .onLoad, and if it fails, no 
additional attempts are made.  I'll see if it's safe to try again.

By the way, did you manually set DISPLAY before you opened the x11 
device?  I get an error in the standard shell when I try that, but 
Sys.putenv fixes it.
