Installing python module “rpy2” after installing Enthought Canopy

问题

Some of my python scripts use rpy2 as an interface to R, which worked perfectly with the previous Enthought EPD python.

I recently installed Canopy Python from Enthought. Python now no longer finds the rpy2 module, and when I try to reinstall it, I get the following errors:

$ easy_install rpy2

[...]

回答1:

Your error implies that R was not built with --enable-R-shlib or that the setup is having difficulty finding R. Did you also upgrade/reinstall/rebuild R somewhere in this process? At Terminal what is the output of the following commands:

echo $R_HOME

and

ls $R_HOME/lib

Presumably the first shows /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources which matches where the rpy install is looking, but do you have libR.dylib available in the second?

If not, have you tried reinstalling R?
