Hi,

I had problems of the same kind recently and finally gave up.
I tried to install Rpy without success, errors with undetected libraries 
occured while I was making the "import rpy" from python (especially with 
libblas).
Since I was not sure R was correctly configured I downloaded the latest 
version R-1.7.1 and tried to install it with R-enable-shared option. I 
could not get out of numerous errors.
Please tell me whether the problem you had calling RSPython is solved 
after installing RPy (if it was possible to install it).
Good luck.

Laurent
