Re: [Rpy] rpy 1.0.3 wants Rdevices.h, but R 2.8.0 (beta) has none to give
I ran into similar issues while trying to build rpy2 on windows, and i ended up having to steal header files from the source distribution of R. How much work would it be to do this?

Sure, but that wasn't the question. The question was about rpy (v1) now becoming 'unbuildable' as R 2.8.0, out as of this morning, dramatically reduced the number of exported header files. We may have to modify the rpy (v1) source distribution to bring whatever is needed in from the R headers --- and carefully test that it still works. If we don't do that, rpy in Debian turns into 'fails to build from source' and disappears from Debian and then Ubuntu. That is likely to break some code too.

Is it possible to build rpy without this header? I see that work is being done on rpy2, so maybe we need to think about supplying rpy2 packages for Ubuntu instead of rpy. rpy2 is somehow separate from rpy's development branch. (this will be made more explicit when I can finally release 2.0). I couldn't get rpy2 to compile on my Ubuntu machine, but I see lots of other messages about that, so I just need to spend some time to get it working. rpy2 was/is developed on Ubuntu 8.04. Last time I tried R-2.8-dev, it was building (and passing unit tests). Please share the details of what is happening when you try building it. I am not very familiar with rpy or rpy2, I just package them up for Ubuntu. Any thoughts you guys have on this would be appreciated.

I will try to update rpy to work with R 2.8 later this week. Feel free to remind me if you don't see anything by Thursday evening. -Greg -Original Message- From: laurent oget [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 11:43 AM To: RPy help,support and design discussion list Subject: Re: [Rpy] rpy 1.0.3 wants Rdevices.h,but R 2.8.0 (beta) has none to give I have built and used Rpy2 on ubuntu so it can be done, however the API are different and replacing rpy with rpy2 in ubuntu packages will break a lot of code using rpy.
