fCalendar 262.73 install error

[Cyril Vaclav]

Hi,

I tried to install fCalendar version 262.73 on gentoo 2.6.18  and  R 2.6.2
It did not worked very well. You can see the error below. I know that similar
problem named as "[R] Can not install fCalendar package under R 2.6.2" was already posted on 22 Mar
2008.

In that case the solution was to switch to windows OS. It is definitely not my
case. 

Can anyone give me guide how to debug the problem. I tried to run the
function .currentYear and it did work. The command Sys.setenv exist and works. 
I could not determine where from comes the connection 
sys.source -> eval -> eval -> .currentYear -> Sys.setenv
given in the error messege.

thx

Cyril Vaclav
