Hello, I seem to be having an issue similar to that reported in bug#575913
Bug#575913: python-rpy2: ImportError when looking for libR.so http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-575913-python-rpy2-importerror-when-looking-libr-so-help-196879812.html For which there seems to have been a fix in R: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-clo...@lists.debian.org/msg274952.html However, I am seeing the same failure to locate libR.so for a fresh build of R 2.11.1 and the latest rpy2 (2.1.3). I didn't have the problem with an earlier version (rpy2-2.0.8), and indeed I rebuilt 2.0.8 with this same new R install and it works fine. Specifically: % export R_HOME=~/R/R-2.11.1/lib64/R % python setup.py install --prefix=~/python/python-2.6.1 Then: % python -m 'rpy2.tests' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/contrib/Python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/runpy.py", line 121, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "/usr/contrib/Python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/runpy.py", line 34, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "/users/kmkc980/python/python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpy2/tests.py", line 3, in <module> import rpy2.robjects.tests File "/users/kmkc980/python/python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpy2/robjects/__init__.py", line 14, in <module> import rpy2.rinterface as rinterface File "/users/kmkc980/python/python-2.6.1/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rpy2/rinterface/__init__.py", line 75, in <module> from rpy2.rinterface.rinterface import * ImportError: libR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory If I give it a hint, all is well: % export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${R_HOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} % python -m 'rpy2.tests' .................................................... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 275 tests in 4.207s OK With the older rpy2 version installed (and without LD_LIBRARY_PATH being modified), there are a few - seemingly expected - test failures, but the shared R library is found: python -m 'rpy2.tests' <stuff omitted> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 172 tests in 0.379s FAILED (failures=3) Let me know if there is any additional specifc information I could provide that would help pinpoint the issue.
