Hi Dirk and Romain, Aparrently libR is not loaded by rpy2, at least not in a way such that Rcpp can access it. I have solved the problem by adding -lR to the linker flags when building Rcpp. Since for normal use of Rcpp from R this does not make a difference, would you mind adding this to the Makevars file in a future version of Rcpp? Or does this lead to problems in case R is build without libR.so?
Best regards, Jonas ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonas Rauch <jonas.ra...@googlemail.com> Date: Fri, Aug 12, 2011 at 10:36 AM Subject: Rcpp and rpy2 To: rcpp-devel <rcpp-de...@r-forge.wu-wien.ac.at> Is Rcpp compatible with rpy2? I would like to call a very complex R function from python. My function depends on code implemented with Rcpp. When I try to load Rcpp from python via import rpy2.robjects as robjects robjects.r('library(Rcpp)') I get the following: Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/home/jonas/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.13/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so': /home/jonas/R/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-library/2.13/Rcpp/libs/Rcpp.so: undefined symbol: R_ClassSymbol Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Rcpp' Traceback (most recent call last): File "RcppTest.py", line 2, in <module> robjects.r('library(Rcpp)') File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rpy2-2.2.2dev_20110811-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/rpy2/robjects/__init__.py", line 225, in __call__ res = self.eval(p) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rpy2-2.2.2dev_20110811-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/rpy2/robjects/functions.py", line 82, in __call__ return super(SignatureTranslatedFunction, self).__call__(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rpy2-2.2.2dev_20110811-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/rpy2/robjects/functions.py", line 34, in __call__ res = super(Function, self).__call__(*new_args, **new_kwargs) rpy2.rinterface.RRuntimeError: Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Rcpp' >From what I understand R_ClassSymbol is supplied by libR.so, which should by loaded by rpy2 anyway in order to work at all, or am I totally wrong here? Running python 2.7.1, rpy2-2.2.2, R 2.13.0 I would appreciate any help. Regards, Jonas
