Hi,
I have had a problem installing Rpy2 versions 2.1.8 and 2.3.1 and Mac OSX
version 10.8.2 using Xcode 3.2 (this is the version that is in my 'Developer'
directory, though some other bits of Xcode seem to be more recent, in Xcode.app
for example) and the Enthought Python Distribution. I am not sure if the
problem lies with Rpy2 or with Xcode, so my apologies if I have made a mistake
in posting here.
When I first tried to instal Rpy2 2.3.1 I got the following error message:
python setup.py build install

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/config: line 142: make: command

This is a reasonably widely reported problem. I got the same result with rpy
2.1.8. I checked I had a 'make' and I checked the path statement in my Terminal
app and sure enough the directory (there were two) in which make was located
was not in the path, so I added one to the Terminal window path (hopefully this
was the right thing to do). Repeating the install, but using a different
procedure, in a terminal wondow with the new path allowed the install to
proceed further, but still ending in an error:

ld: library not found for -lbundle1.o

Searching for the -lbundle1.o message on the web got some hits:
e.g. http://lists.apple.com/archives/darwin-dev/2011/Apr/msg00018.html
The suggestion was to replace the -l switch with the full path to bundle1.o
except I cannot find any reference to bundle1.o in the rpy2 code. There is,
nonetheless, a bundle1.o on my system:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/usr/lib/bundle1.o
but this path is not in the path of my Terminal window. I could add it, but I
guess I find it odd that this should necessary and I wonder if something else
is going wrong. Maybe my Xcode installation is broken, or I am doing something
fundamentally misguided. I have little experience of compiling code so I also
feel that at the moment I am just tampering with things in a rather naive way .
all the best,
Jeremy
