Hi,

I am having problem with the read.xls function. I am trying to read a .xls
file but
it's giving me error.

> read.xls("XXX.xls")
Error parsing file 'XXX.xls'.
Error in xls2sep(xls, sheet, verbose = verbose, ..., method = method,  :
  Intermediate file '/tmp/Rtmp5QQjSI/file1665315c.csv' missing!
In addition: Warning message:
running command '"/usr/bin/perl"
"/home/t227/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12/gdata/perl/xls2csv.pl"
"XXX.xls" "/tmp/Rtmp5QQjSI/file1665315c.csv" "1"' had status 9
Error in file.exists(tfn) : invalid 'file' argument

And the file which I am trying to read opens perfectly in Open Office.

Any help will be appreciated.
