Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dion (redl0tus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Please fix the general installation/initialisation problems Initial Comment: Hi, I have been trying to get rpy to run for a long time now with no success. I have various ubuntu machines (Edgy+Dapper) plus Debian testing and unstable, and old and new installations. Rpy fails on all except a very old debian stable machine. It is always to do with the initialisation of the R object in Python, simply parsing the initial version text or similar. It looks easy to fix for someone who knows the code. This is frustrating as I have written a lot of analysis scripts, now none of them work. I realise this isn't a specific bug, rather its a comment on how rpy is basically broken on newer installations.

What versions of R, rpy, and python have you been using? I'm pretty sure rpy it worked for me on Ubuntu Dapper Drake with the default python and R installations (note that this is a fairly old version of R). I'm not at that machine right now so I can't check the details. You mention "parsing the initial version text or similar", well R-2.3.0 changed the format slightly but the latest rpy copes with this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Dirk Eddelbuettel (eddelbuettel) Date: 2007-03-13 14:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=122489 Originator: NO Hi, Your friendly Debian maintainer here -- I am unaware of systemic problems of either Debian (testing, unstable) or Ubuntu (dapper, edgy). One of my Ubuntu system just received a working update from Ubuntu, and I can assure you that the Debian packages are fine too. I am not sure if you tried 'apt-get install python-rpy' but it may be of help. If not, please use the rpy list, or the Debian bug channels with a proper bug report (i.e. preferably with a reproducible example). Hope this helps, Dirk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=453021&aid=1679627&group_id=48422 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
