Hi Rxperts,
I am trying to install 'rgl' package in Ubuntu.. Would highly appreciate
your assistance .. I tried several leads available on various discussion
fora and nothing helped so far.
Your message is really hard to follow, since you posted in HTML. You
need the OpenGL development packages. On Ubuntu, that probably means
MesaGL, but I don't know the names of the development packages. >

The installation of rgl runs without complaint on my system, so
apparently I have whatever libraries are needed.
I did "apt-show-versions | grep mesa" on my laptop (a trick I just
learned from Berwin Turlach; thanks Berwin!) and got a slew of bumff:
libegl1-mesa:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
libegl1-mesa-drivers:amd64/xenial-updates 12.0.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 uptodate
libgl1-mesa-dev:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
libglapi-mesa:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
libglu1-mesa:amd64/xenial 9.0.0-2.1 uptodate
libglu1-mesa-dev:amd64/xenial 9.0.0-2.1 uptodate
libwayland-egl1-mesa:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
mesa-common-dev:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
mesa-utils:amd64/xenial 8.3.0-1 uptodate
mesa-vdpau-drivers:amd64/xenial-updates 17.0.7-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 uptodate
(There were also a bunch of lines referring to i386 versions not being
installed; I deleted these to save space.)
So it would seem that you need to do at least:
sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa
sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev
Doing this may result in the other bumff that is referred to getting
installed automatically. Try it and see if it works. If not, keep
doing the sudo apt-get install thing to the other bits and pieces until
it does work.
Hope this helps; kind of a case of the blind leading the blind, but I
*think* this should get you going with rgl.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
