R package installation problem
Hi,
I am trying to install the rgl package on my Mac, but I keep failing!
I tried to install the package directly through R:
$ install.package(rgl)
The process stops because of the firewall the company I am working for, and I do not have the privilege to change anything about that.
I then tried to do the installation through Terminal:
$ R CMD INSTALL rgz.version.tar.gz
The output is correct until the last line, in which this appears: configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted. ERROR: configuration failed for package ‘rgl’
* removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/rgl’
* restoring previous ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.15/Resources/library/rgl’
I tried the same with all the rgl version from the 0.70 to the last one, and had the exact same problem.
I do have X11 installed and upgraded.
I am working on a Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Thanks a lot!
PS. Also alternatives softwares ideas to plot in 3d pca results are welcome (while I try to solve the problem, I can at least check out my results!)
