That bit puzzles me. Are you trying to use a Unix flavour R running within Cygwin? I don't know if that works with rpy - I always used to use the standard R for Windows installs on 32bit Windows XP. Also if you are using windows 7 64 bit this may be complicated. Again, I haven't kept track, but I'm not sure if rpy has been used successfully on any 64 bit Windows (I found one email thread where someone tried but appeared to be unsucsessful), or on any version of Windows 7 (again, I found an email where someone tried and failed). Note that trying rpy2 is also going to be hard work, since Laurent doesn't have a Windows machine to develop on.
