[R] RSpython Ubuntu

[kaveh vakili]

Dear List,

I'd like to call pyhton function from within R. I tried installing the latest 
version of RSPython:

wget http://www.omegahat.org/RSPython/RSPython_0.7-1.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL --clean RSPython_0.7-1.tar.gz

I get a compile error (posted below). 

Did anyone else run against this ? Is there a solution ?

checking for python... /usr/bin/python
Python version 2.6
Using threads
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables... 
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
R version 2
Looking for libR.so in lib/
