Hi,

Thanks for the reply!

I am not sure if I did correctly. Now I configure with the following.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R/R-2.9.2 --with-gnu-ld --with-cairo --with-x --enable-R-fPIC

Make and make install with no errors. However when I install rpy2, it states that "R was not built as a library"

[root@plap03 rpy2-2.1.1]# python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
R was not built as a library
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks again :)

Note the last sentence above and try again, i.e. use a recent version of
R and report the version number as well as the OS and the compilers in use.
