rgl needs to know where the X11 headers and libs are, and it appears that the configure script (which was written by autoconfig) isn't finding them. You probably need to specify them manually, when you run configure: --x-includes=DIR X include files are in DIR --x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR If you built R, you can find where R found these by looking at the config.log: search for X_CFLAGS and X_LIBS, and you'll see something like X_CFLAGS=' -I/usr/X11R6/include' X_LIBS=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXt -lXmu' which should mean that this would install rgl on this system: R CMD INSTALL rgl --configure-args="--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib" (In fact, the configure script found them in those locations by itself.)
