This is a little strange. I'm now building RPMS for older Red Hat versions on FC2 using a tool called Mach. There is a possibility that there is some configuration problem, but I can't see it. As Brian has pointed out, you are missing the crucial "-shared" flag when building the shared library for rgl. This comes from the line SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS = -shared in the file /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf. This is present in my latest RPM for Red Hat ( R-1.9.1-0.fdr.2.rh90.i386.rpm ) so I don't know why it isn't working for you. Check that you do have the latest RPM and that you don't have a locally built version of R in /usr/local since this will have precedence on your PATH.
