[Qgis-user] Plug-in not working: spqr

[Phil Morefield]

Carson,

I'm a Windows user, and I think that is causing me problems. The rpy package 
that comes from the OSGeo4W installer (1.0.3) is configured for R 2.6.2. and 
Python 2.5. rpy2 requires R >= 2.8.0.

I haven't been able to locate rpy windows installers for Python 2.5 and R >= 
2.8.0. So in a nutshell: there is no version of R that overlaps both rpy and 
rpy2 when they are installed on Python 2.5. I've tried unsuccessfully to create 
my own Windows installer for rpy; there is an issue with the C++ header files 
changing in later versions of R, which is way beyond my expertise.

I'm all ears if you, or anyone else, has more ideas.

Phil

spqr requires rpy (rather than rpy2). You should be able to install both rpy and 
rpy2 on the same system, so it shouldn't be a problem to install rpy and get 
going with spqr.
