R help - Oct 2009 - Error installing RSPerl.

Dear list,

I have updated to version R-2.10.0. When I try to load the RSPerl
library I get the following error:
> library(RSPerl)
Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
  unable to load shared library
'/usr/local/lib/R/library/RSPerl/libs/RSPerl.so':
  /usr/local/lib/R/library/RSPerl/libs/RSPerl.so: undefined symbol:
boot_DB_File__Glob
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RSPerl'

I do not know how to fix this. Can anyone please help?

I'm runninn R on Ubuntu 9.04

Many thanks,
Grainne.

Hi Grainne

There is one likely cause. But before getting into the explanation,
can you send me the output from when you installed the package, e.g. the output
from

 R CMD INSTALL ....  RSPerl

and any configuration arguments you specified.

You can send this to me off-list and we can summarize at the end.

 Thanks,
   D.
