glm() fits generalised linear models which are different from
general(ised) least squares models.  The latter can be fitted with the
function gls() from the nlme package (and, presumably, also with
functions provided by other packages),

Use l1ce().  l1ce() returns what gl1ce() should return for the gaussian
family with identical link.  Similar to the relationship between lm(...)
and glm(..., family=gaussian).

Hope this helps.
