I suspect it will fail in the same way - but maybe via Excel the environment variables are different. rpy (i.e. rpy1) first tries the RHOME environment variable. It then falls back on the registry (which requires extra modules to be installed) It then tries to run R directly, hoping it is on the path. If you want to use this without changing the code try: * Defining the RHOME environment variable * Installing win32 http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ so the registry can be checked * Making sure R is on the PATH (another environment variable) Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
