[R-sig-Debian] Rpy not working after upgrade to R2.9.1

[Paul Geeleher]

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty, downloading R and Rpy from this repository:

deb http://cran.uk.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/

When was automatically upgraded, Rpy (which should be downloaded from
the same repository) seems to have stopped working. I've tried
re-installing the python-rpy package manually. I get the following
error when I try to import rpy:


>>> import rpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rpy.py", line 134, in <module>
    """ % RVERSION)
RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2091

      RPy module can not be imported. Please check if your rpy
      installation supports R 2.9.1. 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 *



Advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
