在 R-Server Ubuntu 上安装 rgl

Question

I want to to install rgl on R-Server, running on Ubuntu. At the bas prompt I installed

sudo apt-get build-dep r-cran-rgl

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following extra packages will be installed:
libglu1-mesa The following NEW packages will be installed:
libglu1-mesa r-cran-rgl 0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 1,645 kB of archives. After this operation, 3,875 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main libglu1-mesa amd64 9.0.0-2 [195 kB] Get:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe r-cran-rgl amd64 0.93.996-1 [1,450 kB] Fetched 1,645 kB in 1s (1,047 kB/s) Selecting previously unselected package libglu1-mesa:amd64.

Thats it. The three points at the end do not indicate that there was more to copy. Then I logged in into R-Server and tried to run

install.packages("rgl", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

which resulted in an error, namely:

Warning in install.packages :

The downloaded source packages are in

Any ideas what is going wrong?!

I solved this problem by installing

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

then install in R again:

install.packages("rgl")
