I'm a unix newbie having some issues getting either rpy or rpy2 to install.
1) Problem 1: Getting R to share it's library When I try to install rpy2, I get this error: running build_ext /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/config: line 142: make: command not found /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/config: line 143: make: command not found R was not built as a library Also, in the rpy read me (http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy/README), it says "First of all, you *must* check that you have built R with the configure option '--enable-R-shlib'" BUT: in the R for Mac OS X FAQ (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html), it says "Note that the CRAN binary includes R shared library, so there is no need to re-compile R with --enable-R-shlib." I installed R (2.13.0) from the Installer package, as the FAQ recommended. Why isn't R sharing it's library? How do I get R to share it's library? Do I have to install from source - is the FAQ wrong? 2) Problem 2: Configuring path to R Library In the pry read me, it says: Linux and Unix Source Installation: . . . "(b) Then, configure the path to the R library. You have several ways to do this (substitute RHOME with the path where R is installed, usually /usr/local/lib/R): make a link to RHOME/bin/libR.so in /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib, then run 'ldconfig', or, put the following line in your .bashrc (or equivalent): export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:RHOME/bin or, edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add the following line: RHOME/bin and then, run 'ldconfig'. " As a unix newbie, this is greek to me. Which of the three options is easiest, and can I get a little more guidance on how to execute it? I've identified RHOME to be /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources. _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
