Hi! I'm having trouble installing Rpy2. This question is also on
stackoverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30921570/rpy2-cant-find-my-r-libraries-on-install?noredirect=1#comment49893728_30921570

R built from source, installed locally. R is at ~/bin/R (which is in my
PATH) and its libraries are in ~/lib64/R/. Installing rpy2 should be
simple. It finds the correct R just fine (as it's in the path). Then it
can't find the libraries.

$python setup.py build install
R version 3.2.1 (2015-06-18) -- "World-Famous Astronaut"
...

setup.py:211: UserWarning: No include specified
  warnings.warn('No include specified')
setup.py:222: UserWarning: No libraries as -l arguments to the compiler.
  warnings.warn('No libraries as -l arguments to the compiler.')

    Compilation parameters for rpy2's C components:
        include_dirs    = []
        library_dirs    = []
        libraries       = []
        extra_link_args = []

And then we get a million errors that it can't find functions that are in
the R libraries.

Rpy2's documentation says
<http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-dev/html/overview.html> there's a
simple option for designating where R or its libraries are:

python setup.py build --r-home ~/lib64/R/lib install

But if you do this, then you get:

setup.py:222: UserWarning: No libraries as -l arguments to the compiler.
  warnings.warn('No libraries as -l arguments to the compiler.')

    Compilation parameters for rpy2's C components:
        include_dirs    = []
        library_dirs    = []
        libraries       = []
        extra_link_args = []

usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]
   or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]
   or: setup.py --help-commands
   or: setup.py cmd --help

error: option --r-home not recognized

It looks like the --r-home functionality has been removed. How does one
point rpy2 to the correct libraries?
