[Qgis-user] re qgis & mac os

[William Kyngesburye]

Ah, R is a strange 'framework'.  But that shouldn't matter, as rpy2 should know how to deal with it.

I last built rpy2 back when Python on OSX was 32bit only, and (looking at my notes) I installed manually, instead of easy_install.  Download the source and unzip it.  Then cd to the folder in a Terminal and:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Note: the install is a bit messed up in that it will install the logo image in the system site-packages instead of the user site-packages (/Library/Python) alongside the rest of rpy2.

[Trillian]  What are you supposed to do WITH a maniacally depressed robot?

[Marvin]  You think you have problems?  What are you supposed to do if you ARE a maniacally depressed robot?  No, don't try and answer, I'm 50,000 times more intelligent than you and even I don't know the answer...
