Hi All, Duncan, Rolf, Ista, DIrk,
Thanks for the suggestions and I tried all of them (as suggested by Duncan,
Rolf, Ista and Dirk)... I still get similar error as before while
installing 'rgl' package.. I also tried to manually configure "rgl" and got
an error message (please see below for the verbatim output). Would highly
any further ideas/suggestions!
*In my system, "GL" library is present under "/usr/include/GL"*
Here are the libraries available (as suggested by Rolf)
After installing some of them, I continue to get the same error message,
please below the output messages in config.log after I ran "./configure")
