[R] failed rpm installation of R 1.2-1

[Faheem Mitha]

Dear People,

Just tried to compile an rpm for R 1.2-1 (using Albrecht Gebhardt's spec
file). The compile went successfully and produced a binary rpm, but when I
tried to install it, I got an error

error: failed dependencies:
        BEGIN is needed by R-base-1.2.1-1

I see this was also listed in the Requires list at the end of the rpm
compilation: 

Requires: /bin/sh /usr/bin/perl BEGIN ...

Of course I could force installation of the package, but I would like to
know what I am doing first. Albrecht does not say anything about BEGIN in
his spec file, so this must be some internal to R. Does anyone have any
idea what? I have no idea. 

                             Sincerely, Faheem Mitha.
