Yes, one: is QGIS using the same Python where you installed rpy2? You can check that opening python from a terminal, and type: import sys print sys.version then open QGIS, open the Python console (Plugins > Python console) and type the same commands. If the versions are different, it probably means that QGIS has installed its own Python and that you installed rpy2 on the system's one. Any extra hint from Suse users is welcome :) in the QGIS Python console you can also type: import rpy2 as rpy2 import rpy2.robjects as ro and report the Python errors - they are more informative than HomeRange_plugin's. hope this helps, anne -- http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Anne_Ghisla _______________________________________________ AniMov mailing list AniMov@faunalia.it http://lists.faunalia.it/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/animov
