[R] installing rgl package on linux suse 10.1

[Steven Gorlé]

Dear R wizards,

In windows I get really cool graphs with the rgl package.
However on linux, it seems that I can't install one of my favourite packages.
I get a error message on X11, but all X11 packages are installed on my linux 
desktop.
Who can help me out here?

Thanks!
