I have Xcode 3.1 plus the gfortran from Simon's site, so I think so. In any case, things go pretty far if I don't run within R CMD INSTALL.

    I've just bought a new iMac with 10.5.4 of OS X.  I installed R
    2.7.1 on it with no problems.

    I tried to install Xcode 3.0, but three downloads (two Firefox,
    one Safari) were corrupt, so I installed 3.1.

    Now, the weirdness:

    When I try to install rgl from the CRAN source,  or from a local
    directory using R CMD INSTALL, the configure script fails with
    these messages:

    checking for X... libraries /usr/X11/lib, headers /usr/X11/include
    checking for glEnd in -lGL... no
    configure: error: missing required library GL
    ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rgl'
    ** Removing '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/rgl'
    ** Restoring previous
    '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/rgl'


    However, if I run the configure script (as ./configure) within the
    local directory, it succeeds:

    checking for X... libraries /usr/X11/lib, headers /usr/X11/include
    checking for glEnd in -lGL... yes

    I can then move the configure script out of the way and R CMD
    INSTALL proceeds (until it gets to the FTVectoriser error, which
    I'm working on fixing).


    Why would R CMD INSTALL make the configure script fail???
