[BioC] problem installing package GLAD under R-2.10.0

Dear list,

all at sudden I have problems installing and/or loading the package 
"GLAD".  The installation part seems to work OK well on Windows XP but 
Linux tells me already at this level about a problem at the 
configuration level. Anyway, neither on Windows XP as in Fedora Linux 
can't load it afterwards !?
With R-2.9.x I didn't have this problem (neither Linux or Win).
Any suggestions ?

Thank's in advance,
Wolfgang Raffelsberger
