[Qgis-user] rpy2 isntallation fails under Ubuntu Jaunty for R 2.9.1

[Robert Nuske]

Hi Nikos,

I didn't have any problems on jaunty.

Downloaded rpy2 to /usr/local/src, gunziped/untared it, changed to rpy2-2.0.6 
and run 'sudo python setup.py install'

This was last week for an r-base-dev from 
http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu jaunty/


cheers,
  robert
