Error installing RSPerl.

Hi List,

Just to close this thread. It seems my problem was of a "more haste
less speed" nature, i.e. a typo, which Duncan helpfully pointed out.

I was installing RSPerl with the command:
R CMD INSTALL -c --configure-args="--with-modules='IO Fcntl Socket
Storable XML::Parser::Expat DB_File::Glob GDBM_File SDBM_File
POSIX'" RSPerl

I specified:

DB_File::Glob

Instead of (the correct)

DB_File File::Glob

As Duncan pointed out: "Specifying DB_File::Glob will cause the
package to have a boot entry named

 D_File__Glob

precisely what it is complaining about.

So it looks like this is a simple typo. The package does not verify that
the modules are there if you explicitly specify them."

Suitably embarrassed,
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.

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.
