R SIG Debian - Jul 2009 - Rpy not working after upgrade to R2.9.1

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty, downloading R and Rpy from this repository:

deb http://cran.uk.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/

When was automatically upgraded, Rpy (which should be downloaded from
the same repository) seems to have stopped working. I've tried
re-installing the python-rpy package manually. I get the following
error when I try to import rpy:

>>> import rpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rpy.py", line 134, in
<module>
    """ % RVERSION)
RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2091

      RPy module can not be imported. Please check if your rpy
      installation supports R 2.9.1. If you have multiple R versions
      installed, you may need to set RHOME before importing rpy. For
      example:

      >>> from rpy_options import set_options
      >>> set_options(RHOME='c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/')
      >>> from rpy import *



Advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry -- rpy (as opposed to rpy2) requires a rebuild each time the R version
changes, and I had not yet built one so I presume that the Ubuntua builds by
Vincent and Michael that are distributed via CRAN were also still behind.

I just uploaded 1.0.3-8 to Debian, the CRAN builds should get updated in the
next few days.  In the meantime, you could install from source.

Dirk
