Summary: RPy2 with Fink's R: no LAPACK_LIBS; setup.py fails
Initial Comment:
I'm trying to install RPy2 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 using R supplied by Fink. R
(2.7.0) outputs the following link parameters:
$ R CMD config --ldflags
-F/sw/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/.. -framework R
$ R CMD config BLAS_LIBS
-framework vecLib -dylib_file
/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib
$ R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS
As you may see, BLAS_LIBS points to libLAPACK (vecLib) and LAPACK_LIBS is empty
(Apple's vecLib includes both BLAS and LAPACK). I was browsing the configure
(autoconf) file distributed with R 2.7.0 and it seems that LAPACK_LIBS is
intended to be blank:
## Note that (see R-admin) that our main intention is to allow a
## LAPACK-containing BLAS to be used, so this is rarely needed, and
## it is not used if the BLAS already contains LAPACK.
## LAPACK_LIBS=
However, RPy'2 setup.py fails if "R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS" doesn't output
something. Should LAPACK_LIBS really be mandatory?
For your information, these are the relevant configure parameters that Fink
uses when building R:
--with-blas="-framework vecLib -dylib_file
/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib:/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib"
--with-lapack --enable-R-framework=/sw/Library/Frameworks

Message:
rpy2-2.0.3 (it’s not in Fink yet, I downloaded the tarball from
SourceForge)
$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 144, in <module>
ri_ext = getRinterface_ext(RHOME, r_packversion)
File "setup.py", line 129, in getRinterface_ext
get_rconfig(RHOME, 'LAPACK_LIBS') +\

raise Exception(cmd + '\nreturned\n' + rconfig)
Exception: "/sw/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R" CMD config
LAPACK_LIBS
returned
$
If I comment out the line in setup.py which calls get_rconfig(RHOME,
'LAPACK_LIBS') then I get another exception wrt BLAS_LIBS:
$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 144, in <module>
ri_ext = getRinterface_ext(RHOME, r_packversion)
File "setup.py", line 130, in getRinterface_ext
get_rconfig(RHOME, 'BLAS_LIBS'),
File "setup.py", line 78, in get_rconfig
raise Exception(cmd + '\nreturned\n' + rconfig)
Exception: "/sw/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/R" CMD config

-framework vecLib -dylib_file

$
If I comment out both calls get_rconfig(RHOME, 'LAPACK_LIBS') and
get_rconfig(RHOME, 'BLAS_LIBS') then setup.py proceeds.

What is the exact error message returned ?
What is the version of rpy2 in Fink ?
Thanks,
