Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Documentation Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: R needs to be on windows path Initial Comment: I just updated my R and Rpy installation on WindowsXP with rpy-1.0.3-R-2.7.0-win32-py2.4.exe R-2.7.0-win32.exe Note: I did not uninstall my previous version of R, and I did not reboot. When I ran a ols linear estimation from within IDLE, (example from scipy cookbook), I got an exception, that R did not find C:\Program Files\R\R-2.7.0\modules\lapack.dll the last path separator was //, i.e. modules//lapack.dll Running R directly did not raise any errors. I finally figured out that I have to put the dll paths in the Windows paths (actually I still had the old R directory on my windows path. Now everything seems to work fine. I had assumed that an exe install file will do a complete install, so maybe a warning that the dll directories of R (or at least the R/bin) need to be on the path would be helpful. Two more comments: The rpy files are installed directly in sitepackages and not in a subdirectory of it. I would prefer if it were in a subdirectory to keep module names and individual files belonging to a module separated. When deciding which version of R to upgrade to, I assumed that rpy-1.0.3-R-2.7.0-win32-py2.4.exe only works for R-2.7.0 and not for R-2.7.2. If it also works with the newer version, then a note on the webpage would be useful. This is just a quick feedback it is not really a bug, since everything seems to work fine.
