[R-SIG-Mac] R-devel, python, and rpy

[Adam Naples]

Perhaps this is a silly question for the lis, but I can't seem to get  
rpy  ( http://rpy.sourceforge.net)  fully working with this version of  
R.  some basic functions work, but little else.

When I try to import the rpy module in python I get the following error.
		
		>>> from rpy import *
		Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
	        		unable to load shared library  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.0/Resources/library/ 
stats/libs/stats.so":
		  dlcompat: dyld: python can't open library: libR.dylib  (No such  
file or directory, errno = 2)
		Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
		        unable to load shared library  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.0/Resources/library/ 
methods/libs/methods.so":
		  dlcompat: dyld: python can't open library: libR.dylib  (No such  
file or directory, errno = 2)
		In addition: Warning message:
		package stats in options("defaultPackages") was not found


but some commands still work such as
		>>> r.seq(1,10)
		[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

but if I try to do anything fancier, I get errors and if I try to load  
a library it crashes.

In the README for rpy it tells me I need to build R with the following
configure option    '--enable-R-shlib

I am not at all sure what this means, should I download the source and  
just rebuild R locally?

Any help or clarification would be fantastic.
thanks in advance
