This is a very frustrating error that I've had on numerous occasions with a myriad of different packages, I've never really known what I've done to resolve it however I've found that using python 2.6 and gcc 4.0 seems to be much better for installing python packages, you can change the symlink /bin/gcc to point to gcc-4.0 (if you don't have it you can get it from the developer tools package).

Hi,

I'm trying to install rpy2 on a Mac running Mac OS 10.6.4. The Mac has R version 2.11.1, Python 2.6.2, and gcc version 4.2.1.

When I try to install rpy2 (version 2.1.3), I get the following error message:

>python setup.py install

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

After some googling, I see that others have gotten the same error, but I can't figure out whether it's my version of gcc, Python, or R that is causing the problem (the problem seemed to happen to other people with a variety of combinations of versions). Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try?

Thanks so much in advance!
