[BioC] Trouble Loading RBGL

[Jeff Lande]

Hi,
 
I am working on a Solaris 9 system with version 1.9.0 of R and I'm
having problems installing the RBGL package.  I have tried to install it
using install.packages and R INSTALL.  I have tried both the Release 1.4
and developmental package.  
 
When I tried install.packages, I got the following error
 
>

ry/release1.4/package/Source")

When I used the R INSTALL method, I got the same error
 
landej at s2 [~/Rlib] % R CMD INSTALL -l /home/msib/landej/Rlib
RBGL_1.3.7.tar.gz

I've seen this error reported once before in the BioC listserv archives,
but I couldn't find a response to it.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
 
Thank you.
