Re: [Rpy] RPy & Windows install and import problems

Hello,

Like others, I downloaded and built the 1.0.0 sources and still have this silent crash on "import rpy". I again applied Manuzhai's "fix" <http://hg.xavamedia.nl/rpy/rev/dabea0379d84> to src/rpymodule.c and everything works for me (using R 2.5.1 under Python 2.5.1 under XP SP2, compiled with mingw/gcc 3.4.5 downloaded from http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/ ).

I've attached a patch that has this workaround for win32. I don't have a version of R with debugging enabled, so I don't know why the xstr macro is causing a problem under Windows.

John, have you tried a different version of mingw as you suggested in your message of 11/22? If so, what results have you seen?

Gregory, have you done a win32 build of 1.0.0? If so, what version of mingw did you use? Further, could you post a win32 build so that we might try it?

For everyone with RPY Windows install and import problems,

The same issue where RPY won't import or work on Windows installation
seems to be coming up again and again on this list.

I was able to solve it for my Windows XP installation by not using the
latest and official RPY Windows binary. I used a RC2 build of December
2006. It seems all RC3 Windows builds of 2007 have this problem and
fiddling with Python and R versions and path settings won't help.

The problem is now on the RPY BUG LIST as
[ 1835064 ] Crash on import rpy (11-20-2007)
and also [ 1827071 ] import error / restart (11-06-2007)

Below is the good news (thanks Greg). A RC3 solution is coming. It has
not happened yet (as of Nov 28 2007) in the sense that a RPY RC3 Windows
binary with fix has not yet been posted on sourceforge.net

  Hi Everyone,

    I've posted RPy 1.0.0 source packages on the sourceforge download
    page at It resolves (I hope) all of the bugs that have been biting
    people: silent failure to start on Windows, problems on 64 bit
    systems, and problems with NumPy/Nummary arrays.

    Please grab it and take it for a spin.

    -Greg

Note that this posting has the source files, not exe builds. If you do
not build exe's I suggest that you use a RC2 Windows exe build at this
time.
See
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=48422&package_id=4
1514
and look under rpy1.0-RC2 (2006-12-11) for
  rpy-1.0-RC2.win32-R2.0.0-R-2.4.1-py2.4.exe
or something similarly named (depending on your R and Python versions).
RPY RC2 and R 2.2 and Python 2.4 worked for me.

I hope this helps someone.
