One thing to notice is that rgl does its own configure step (hadn't noticed on my first build since g++ is so noisy about a number of other things), and it is possible that something is getting messed up on E's RH9 system. Redirecting the output as in R CMD INSTALL rgll_0.64-13.tar.gz 2>&1 | tee rgl.log and poring over the result might prove informative. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
