Hi Nate,
thank you very much for your help! I managed to figure out the problem. There seemed to be an old version of R and somehow (I still don't know how) the rpy installation did only find the old one. I hard-coded the directory of the new R in the setup.py (everything else failed) and then it compiled against the new R version.
Best regards, Sarah

Hi all,
I'm currently working on setting up a fresh Galaxy server at our institute. I'm going through the tool dependencies list and install everything on it. I installed the latest R version (2.12.2) and now I'm trying to install rpy. With some workarounds I managed to compile rpy, but when I try to import it in python, I get the following error:
import rpy
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module> File "rpy.py", line 134, in<module> """ % RVERSION) RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2122
RPy module can not be imported. Please check if your rpy installation supports R 2.12.2. 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 *It looks like my version of R isn't supported by rpy. Does anybody know which version of R still works with rpy? I couldn't find anything about it. What about rpy2? Is it not supported by Galaxy?
Hi Sarah,
Although I haven't tested with 2.12.2, I know it works with at least 2.11.0. The error above is indicating that rpy is installed somewhere on python's path but the C-extension module for the version of R found on your $PATH (2.12.2) is not present. Most likely this is because rpy was already installed, and is being found earlier on python's path than the version of rpy that you installed. The older rpy was built against a different version of R.
If you find the original installation of rpy you should be able to determine from _rpy<version>.so what version of R it was built against, and put that version of R ahead of 2.12.2 in your $PATH.
Alternatively, you can find and uninstall the old version of rpy, which should allow your newer version to be found and used.
python's path can be determined with:
python -c 'import sys; print "\n".join( sys.path )'
There is some effort underway in the community to rewrite rpy tools to use rpy2, but this work is not yet complete.
Hope this helps, --nate
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
