I'm trying to install the Homals package - library(homals), but keep getting this error message:

library(homals)

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'rgl', details: call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) error: unable to load shared object
'/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so': dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so, 6): Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libGLU.1.dylib Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/library/rgl/libs/rgl.so Reason: image not found Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘homals’

I have a couple of my colleagues to run the same code, the same thing happens. I have re-install R studio to the newest version. 

install.packages("rgl")
install.packages("homals") 
library(homals)

Any solutions for this? thank you.

Are you running R/Rstudio as an Admin user? If not, try that out and see if it makes a difference. – Jas
just double checked, I am running it as the Admin user. – Ada

I was able to successfully install on both Windows and Mac. I believe the root cause here is that you have R version 3.3 installed when you require at least v3.5.3 as per below:

library(homals)
Warning message:
package ‘homals’ was built under R version 3.5.3
