Hello All,

I've been using R for a while and decided to test R from the svn trunk.  I
know that trunk is not stable, but I wanted to see if I can install and run
the latest rpy on my Ubuntu 7.10 box.  It installed ok, but I got the
runtime error message:

$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar  7 2008, 04:10:12)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpy.py", line 134, in <module>
    """ % RVERSION)
RuntimeError: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/_rpy2070.so: undefined
symbol: KillAllDevices

      RPy module can not be imported. Please check if your rpy
      installation supports R 2.7.0. If you have multiple R versions
      installed, you may need to set RHOME before importing rpy. For
      example:

      >>> from rpy_options import set_options
      >>> set_options(RHOME='c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/')
      >>> from rpy import *


>>>

Btw, RHOME on my computer is located at /usr/local/lib/R and I have compiled
R shared library directory in my ld.so.conf.

Bob
