[R] R-2.01 and RSPerl-0.6.2

[Zachariah Zachariah]

Hi,

I am somewhat new to R and RSPerl, but I think this particular problem
has to do with RSPerl and so I am not sure if this is the right forum
to ask for help. Nevertheless I am quite sure that many of you would
have used RSPerl with R.

My hardware platform is a Sun/Solaris V440 server running Solaris 9
operating system I use the gcc-3.4.0 compiler to compile R without any
problems. My intention is to call R from Perl. So I use the
--enable-R-shlib option as the document says. My perl version is at
5.8.6. I also compiled in RSPerl for dual functionality of calling
perl from R and R from Perl. Everything seems to get installed
smoothly as a well oiled machine till I run the tests in the examples
directory.

#R CMD INSTALL -c  RSPerl_0.6-2.tar.gz
#R CMD INSTALL -c --configure-args='with-in-perl' RSPerl_0.6-2.tar.gz
#cd <install directory>/lib/R/library/RSPerl/examples
# perl test.pl

I searched the documents for any clue and I believe that I have
followed everything specified in the documentation. I had done a
successful install of R-1.9.1 and RSPerl-0.5.7 on a similar hardware
platform that I thought had given me some confidence but not so with
this one. The documentation did not seem to suggest anything new for
the latest versions of R and RSPerl Thanks in advance for any
help/pointers/tips/etc. Here are my environment variables if that
would help.
