Troubles installing “rgl” on Ubuntu

问题

It seems that I have troubles isntalling the rgl package on Ubuntu. When running

install.packages("rgl")

I got the following error

It looks like the error appears in the alst three lines. My session info is

Does anybody know where is the catch?

回答1:

You actually need the following packages:

  libcgal-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev, libglu1-mesa-dev

You can install them on a machine with apt-get as follows:

sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

That should solve the dependency problems

To install X11 header files:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

回答2:

You need OpenGL libraries installed. The easiest thing to do will be to add Michael Rutter's PPA to your repository list and installing r-cran-rgl:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-cran-rgl

If you need to run without X11, I believe that the answer to this question will help (you may need to sudo apt-get install xvfb first ...)

回答3:

Here we are on Ubuntu 18.04 and have similar problems installing rgl.

So we add all this dependencies (some taken from previous answers):

sudo apt install libftgl2 libcgal-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libfreetype6-dev

and after lot of trying, we got it working !

We also published this solution here: https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?group_id=234&atid=946&func=detail&aid=6553

Here is my solution. It works wells in Ubuntu 18.04

sudo apt-get install xorg 
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev 
sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev 
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install gfortran
sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev
sudo apt-get install libblas-dev
sudo apt install python-autopep8
sudo apt install libftgl2 libcgal-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libcgal-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

install.packages("digest") 
install.packages("xtable") 
install.packages("rgl")
