Thanks. I was indeed trying to build a Carbon version. I'd love to
see it run natively -- it would surely look a lot better, and it seems
to me that pretty graphics are the whole point of this package -- but
X11 works fine for me. Sorry for the bother.

rgl attempts on OS X to build both X11 and 'Carbon' versions. You
can inhibit the latter by
R CMD INSTALL --configure-args='--disable-carbon' .../

The X11 version does work -- had you not tried that?
A native Mac OS X version will be a lot more work, so to encourage
people you will need to explain what is not enough in the X11
version.
I was referring to the native version alone. I guess I have
misinterpreted the original question. I have a prototype of the native
version that could be used in 64-bit if anyone is keen enough to clean
up rgl... Either way IMHO the configure script should check whether
the Carbon version can be built at all.
Cheers,

Looking through the archives, I see that the developers of rgl
don't have access to a 64 bit Mac, and are waiting for someone
else to take the initiative and make an appropriate patch.
Unfortunately, I think this is beyond my abilities. Has anyone
been able to get it to work?
I now have a 64-bit Mac (10.5.6), and probably the abilities. If
you could collect together the relevant posts, I will endeavour to
take a look (unless Simon has already got there). Please post a
follow-up posting for future reference, and include the rgl
maintainers (who I suspect do not read R-sig-mac).
Thanks,
