Hi Rxperts,
I tried with r-cran-rgl (based on the default installation of Ubuntu)
with reinstalled rgl package from R-forge.. I get the missing GL/gl.h
header. Didn't reinstall Mesa libraries per recommendations of Duncan.
None of your messages have indicated that the header is missing. You're
missing the library. According to one of your earlier messages, it
sounded as though the missing file is
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1.2.0.

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for the suggestions. How do I uninstall mesa related
installations? Do I need to uninstall all of "mesa" or only the
specific ones?

That means you _have_ the rgl package installed, and can
stop everything you
are doing.
You do _not_ need to install it from source via R. You have
it from Ubuntu.
Actually the version on CRAN is pretty old, so I'd recommend
people do install it from source, getting the source from
R-forge. Since that is a development site the quality varies
over time, but right at this minute I would say it is better
than the CRAN version.
Re Santosh's error messages: it looks as though the Mesa
installation is messed up. I'd recommend uninstalling it,
making sure there's no remnant of Mesa anywhere, then
reinstalling it.
