The error message:
RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2062
RPy module can not be imported. Please check if your rpy
installation supports R 2.6.2. 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 *
The R version installed is 2.6.2
Like I said, installing rpy from source fixes the problem without having to
install any additional packages, but
as my understanding of the package system is a little limited I could have
missed something. I've reproduced this on
two different machines with clean Ubuntu Hardy installs (as well as Gutsy).
I'll also try contacting the package maintainer.
Thanks,
Lars
