Hi List, Just to close this thread. It seems my problem was of a "more haste less speed" nature, i.e. a typo, which Duncan helpfully pointed out.
I was installing RSPerl with the command: >> R CMD INSTALL -c --configure-args="--with-modules='IO Fcntl Socket >> Storable XML::Parser::Expat DB_File::Glob GDBM_File SDBM_File >> POSIX'" RSPerl >> I specified: DB_File::Glob Instead of (the correct) DB_File File::Glob As Duncan pointed out: "Specifying DB_File::Glob will cause the package to have a boot entry named D_File__Glob precisely what it is complaining about. So it looks like this is a simple typo. The package does not verify that the modules are there if you explicitly specify them." Suitably embarrassed, Grainne.
