It seems that I have troubles isntalling the rgl package on Ubuntu. When running
install.packages("rgl")
I got the following error

Does anybody know where is the catch?
Answer
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
