I couldn't install rgl due to the following problems:
g++ -I/usr/local/lib/R/include -I/usr/local/lib/R/include -DHAVE_PNG_H
-Iext -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -c par3d.cpp -o par3d.o
par3d.cpp: In function 'void Specify(const char*, SEXPREC*)':
par3d.cpp:128: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
par3d.cpp:128: error: initialising argument 1 of 'Rboolean
Rf_psmatch(char*, char*, Rboolean)'
par3d.cpp:135: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
par3d.cpp:135: error: initialising argument 1 of 'Rboolean
Rf_psmatch(char*, char*, Rboolean)'
make: *** [par3d.o] Error 1
chmod: cannot access `/usr/local/lib/R/library/rgl/libs/*': No such
file or directory
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'rgl'
But Uwe's suggestion with scatterplot3d gives a better result than I had. But I
might use multiple 2d plots instead.
Many thanks,
Geoff.
