could you please clarify the exact reason why the Unix and Windows versions of R are differently organized,
have different H files included (windows is missing RInterface.h) and have different command line parameters
(R CMD doesn't work in Win).
This is causing major problems in using various addon libraries, like rpy2, which have to have special cases for platforms
which is not very nice architecture.
A better way would be for the R to have the exactly same API for all platforms.
What are your thoughts on this?

can you advise - is there any reason why R for Win and R for Unix have different command line structures and distributions?
in my view, this should be fixed in R and not in rpy2.
You may want to post on the R-devel mailing list if you want to propose changes to R. I had limited success there, but someone else might achieve more.
e.g. RInterface.h is missing and "R CMD" doesn't work.
but i got quite far so far. Just to fix these issues below and i am done.
From the dependency to readline I assume that you are trying to compile the lastest rpy2, and then I think that you might have hit just the tip of the iceberg.

fine, i can play with it for sure, but i am confused. If the recent versions of rpy2 are not supported by Win then
1. why there is a Win installer for the latest version of rpy2?
Latest ? The latest release is 2.2.2.
2. why the documentation at source forge doesn't mention it quite clearly.
http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.2/html/overview.html#microsoft-s-windows-precompiled-binaries
In any case, i will look into how to make it work and advise - timeframe unclear as i am tied up with other stuff.

I assume part of the problem is that rpy2 depends on some custom built R package, not the standard one from http://cran.opensourceresources.org/bin/windows/base/R-2.13.1-win.exe Rpy2 works with standard R distributions, but recent versions (of rpy2) have not supported Windows. So the version you're using is from a couple of years ago, and probably expects a slightly older version of R. If you've got the time and ability to get the latest release of rpy2 working on Windows, I'm sure that people would be grateful. Thomas |
