It is printed as you run R CMD INSTALL. If you install from a  
directory instead of a tar ball, you also get the config.log file if  
the rgl directory (hence it is a good idea to install that way if you  
encounter any problems).

Those are (usually) quite irrelevant - you have to set PATH simply  
when you are installing the package - this is independent of the  
system setting.

The default shell on OS X so assuming you didn't change that, you  
simply run
export PATH=/usr/X11/bin:$PATH
tar fxz rgl_0.76.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL rgl

Look at rgl/config.log for details.

Cheers,
Simon
