R rgl Package crashes Rstudio

Question

Does anyone use R rgl package (version 0.95.1201) in Rstudio (Version 0.99.489)? Every time I call library(rgl), Rstudio crashes.

Update

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem.

You have to set the environment variable:

LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1

In R, the command is:

Sys.setenv(LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1)

It should work now.
