[R-SIG-Mac]RSPerl

[David Firth]

Has anyone succeeded in compiling and installing the RSPerl package 
under OS X (Darwin)?

I tried and got the errors below.  Any hints would be welcomed.

[Incidentally (well, is it incidental? I don't seem to have this problem 
so far with other R packages), I couldn't run R CMD INSTALL directly on 
the gzipped tar file:

david% R CMD INSTALL -c /Users/david/Desktop/RSPerl.tar.gz
ERROR: cannot extract package from /Users/david/Desktop/RSPerl.tar.gz

--- instead I had to unzip and untar myself, then run R CMD INSTALL 
on the RSPerl source directory.  I don't know why.]

Regards,
David
