[R] Problems installing rgl (3D graphics package). Error messages "... not available, " "non-zero exit status" and so on

[Byron Dom]

I want to install the 3D graphics rgl. 
I'm running R version 3.2.3 on Windows version "10.0.18362 N/A Build 18362".
I've been using R for about 15 years but only as a casual user. I have installed two packages in the past, but the last was several years ago.
When I issued the command "install.packages("rgl",dependencies=TRUE)," The output I got included quite a few error messages. I've pasted below some of the output that came at the end. There was so much output that I've only included the parts that contained the error and warning messages, which was at the end. I am happy to provide all of the output, if that would help in diagnosing the problem(s).
My questions about this are the obvious ones:(1) What is causing it? (2) How can I fix it?
I'm also wondering if installing R 4.0 before installing rgl, would fix the problems. I've been planning to do that in the near future anyway.
Thanks in advance for any help.
