Starting with a fresh Windows XP system I've installed R 2.6.1 and the latest Rpy and Python 2.5 from binaries. That all works fine together.
I've also installed Quantum GIS (QGIS) 0.9.1 from released binaries. QGIS has an embedded python interpreter which gives access to the geographic data and via C++ SIP bindings. Very nice. It also has a Python command line console. I want to use Rpy from QGIS' python to do statistical analysis on geographic data. So I start up QGIS, fire up the console, and 'from rpy import r'. Pretty rapidly R pops up an error dialog from reading the Rconsole file. The line number given is a blank line in the file. It then proceeds to error on all the blank lines and four non-blank lines: background = White normaltext = NavyBlue usertext = Red highlight = DarkRed If I remove the blank lines and comment out those four, it works fine. The error is coming from R's SRC/gnuwin32/preferences.c, so it may be something in the opt.c file not reading right. Rpy works fine when called from Python run from CMD or cygwin shells, or from the ERIC IDE. R runs fine when called from os.spawnv() from QGIS' python console. I've checked the environment variables in these cases and they're the same, so it's not a language setting. I'm stumped. Anyone else seen this? Any workarounds? Can I tell Rpy to startup R with the '--no-Rconsole' option? Any clues or hints as to what I can do to see what's going on are welcome... I've had this working before, but probably with slightly different versions. It all works fine on Linux.
