It works for me. My guess is that there is something wrong with your
perl installation. When you install xgobi, you should get this
output:

Installing *source* package `xgobi' ...
 R
 data
 help
 >>> Building/Updating help pages for package `xgobi'
     Formats: text html latex example 
  PaulKAI                           text    html    latex   example
  laser                             text    html    latex
  morsecodes                        text    html    latex   example
  quadplot                          text    html    latex   example
  reggeom                           text    html    latex   example
  xgobi                             text    html    latex   example
  xgvis                             text    html    latex   example
 DONE (xgobi)

DONE (INSTALL)
