Hello,

I am trying to see if I can get RMatlab from Omegahat (http://www.omegahat.org/RMatlab/) working on OS 10.6.4 to be able to call R from Matlab.

I am following the instructions at: http://www.stanford.edu/~dgleich/notebook/2009/09/rmatlab_using_r_from_matlab.html

I got to the point of running the ./configure script (see below) where the script complains that libR.so cannot be found. I searched my Mac for a libR.so file, but could not find it. I am using the latest OSX binary from CRAN, and I read in the R for Mac OS X FAQ that it is already compiled as a shared library.

If there are likely to be non-trivial changes involved in trying to compile it for OSX, then probably doing it by myself is beyond my current ability, as is also probably already obvious.

Seeking hints/guidance/advice...

Very best and many thanks, Suresh

There is no R shared library (libR.so), so you cannot run R within Matlab.
You will only be able to start Matlab from within R
If this is not what you want, reinstall R from source with the configuration option

  ./configure --enable-R-shlib


If you have already compiled R as a shared library but this script has not been able to find it, set the environment variable R_SHARED_LIB_DIR to the name of the directory
 in which it is located and re-install this package

*********************************************************

  To set the environment variables to run R from within Matlab
  or vice versa, source the relevant shell script into your shell
  before running Matlab or R

  Bourne or Bash shell:

     . /scripts/RMatlab.sh

  Csh or Tcsh shell:

     source /scripts/RMatlab.csh
