Thanks.  Here's another datum:  I did my last build of rgl with the beta 
XQuartz installed.  I'm now back to 2.7.11 and I get this when I try to 
start rgl:

 > library(rgl)
Error in dyn.load(dynlib) :
   unable to load shared object 
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so':
 
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so, 
6): Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libX11.6.dylib
   Referenced from: 
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so
   Reason: Incompatible library version: rgl.so requires version 11.0.0 
or later, but libX11.6.dylib provides version 10.0.0
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘rgl’:
  .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rgl', details:
   call: NULL
   error: 	Loading rgl's DLL failed.
	This build of rgl depends on XQuartz, which you can download from 
xquartz.org.

So it appears they updated the version of libX11.6.dylib, and rgl is 
asking for the wrong one.

Is there some way for me to request a particular version during my 
build, or at least detect that the wrong version is installed?
