What Holly said is that she can't find a way to delete the file. You can find the file with

system.file("libs",.Platform$r_arch,"aglrgl.so",package="rgl")

so you can remove it with

unlink(system.file("libs",.Platform$r_arch,"aglrgl.so",package="rgl"))

However, you didn't include necessary details with your posts (like your OS version) so it's unclear whether there is really a problem (I can't reproduce it on my system) so I can't vouch for the hack.

Cheers,
Simon

I think that it could be done from the command line using the path in the error message, but so far I can't seem to get that to work.
