I have a co-worker who has installed R 3.4.2 on Windows 7.  When this
person tries to load the rgl package with
library(rgl)
A dialog box appears with the message:
R for windows gui frontend has stopped working

I suspect a conflict problem with a dll, but I'm not sure how to identify
if this is the problem since R is crashing immediately.

Interestingly, when we start R and do NOT load rgl, but type this WITHOUT
parentheses:
rgl:::.onUnload
We get the same crash.

On my laptop I can load rgl just fine, after loading rgl I see:

R> getLoadedDLLs()

Can I manually load the DLLs and then load rgl?

Any tips on how to proceed would be appreciated.
