Summary: Running "setup.py install" succeeds (and the installed rpy2 package works in python), however on rpm-based platforms, it is convenient to build an RPM, then use that to install on multiple machines. setup.py usually works with the command "bdist_rpm" to create an RPM.
There is something incorrect with the setup.py or project setup such that bdist_rpm fails. Could someone familiar with the building of the project and setup.py take a look or suggest what specific kind of change would fix the setup such that bdist_rpm successfully creates an RPM? Example: "setup.py bdist_rpm" fails on openSUSE Linux 11.1 with a compile error, which appears to be related to the include paths or the staging of source files: > python setup.py bdist_rpm ... ... running build_ext building 'rpy2.rinterface.rinterface' extension creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.6 creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/rpy creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/rpy/rinterface gcc -pthread -DNDEBUG -march=i586 -mtune=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -O2 -g -m32 -march=i586 -mtune=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fPIC -DR_INTERFACE_PTRS=1 -DCSTACK_DEFNS=1 -DRIF_HAS_RSIGHAND=1 -I/usr/lib/R/include -Irpy/rinterface -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c rpy/rinterface/array.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.6/rpy/rinterface/array.o rpy/rinterface/array.c:7:26: error: rinterface.h: No such file or directory rpy/rinterface/array.c:108: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.71022 (%build) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
