Hello,

I'm curious to know how people are calling R from web applications (I've
been looking for Perl but I'm open to other languages).  After doing a
search, I came across the R package "RSPerl", but I'm having difficulties
getting it installed (on Mac OSX).  I believe the problem probably has to do
with changes in R since the package release.  Below you will see where the
installation process comes to an end.  Does anyone have any suggestions, or
perhaps a direction to point me in?

Thanks in advance for your insight!

Chris
