This changed when the newer Fortran compiler and newer Atlas/Lapack were used. You can see for yourself: $ R CMD config BLAS_LIBS -lblas $ R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS -llapack Not -lRlapack but -llapack. FWIW my system (at work) is Ubuntu 8.10: $ dpkg -l r-base-core Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii r-base-core 2.8.1-1intrepi GNU R core of statistical computation and gr I maintain RPy2 in Debian, if you know the tricks you can just fetch the source package from there and rebuild it on your Ubuntu system. I do that with a few things that I want to be even more current than the Ubuntu cycle (and the excellent contributed/ported R packages via CRAN). Otherwise, just edit setup.py and try again.
