The problem could be that you do not have the system dependencies in place. For rgl these are listed as: SystemRequirements: OpenGL, GLU Library, zlib (optional), libpng (>=1.2.9, optional), FreeType (optional) The rgl url is URL: http://rgl.neoscientists.org The tklplot package is not so explicit, though. Best of luck. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Liu Sent: Friday, 17 September 2010 10:41 AM To: r-help Subject: [R] Was the package installed correctly Hi folks, On R > install.packages("TeachingDemos", dependencies=TRUE) ...... installing to /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/mapproj/libs ** R ** inst ** preparing package for lazy loading ** help *** installing help indices ** building package indices ... ** testing if installed package can be loaded * DONE (mapproj) The downloaded packages are in '/tmp/Rtmp3CKVAs/downloaded_packages' Warning messages: 1: In install.packages("TeachingDemos", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'tkrplot' had non-zero exit status 2: In install.packages("TeachingDemos", dependencies = TRUE) : installation of package 'rgl' had non-zero exit status What do the warnings indicate?
