Thanks. Adding the -shared to the Makeconf file fixed the problem. I
installed R from R-1.9.1-0.fdr.2.rh90.i386.rpm , but for some reason the
flag to share libraries was never set in SHLIB_CXXLDFLAGS.
rgl_0.64-13.tar.gz now installed without problems.
Thanks again,
Enrique

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.
