Why are you using glm to do linear regression?  lm() is the preferred 
function.

We would need to be able to reproduce it to be able to help you.  A quick 
attempt

library(MASS)
Lin1 <- data.frame(male=mdeaths, female=fdeaths)
summary(glm(female ~ male, data=Lin1, family=gaussian(link ="identity")))

works, as there is no technical problem with having time series in such a
fit (although the result may be statistically invalid).

Many, including lm().

What is your statistical problem, precisely?  Using the regression 
capabilities on arima() or function gls() in package nlme spring to mind, 
and ccf() and spectrum() can display cross-correlations and ar() can fit a 
joint AR model.
