Hi Sarah
you need to install the rpy module:

As a warning: we have been struggling to get rpy to work with newer versions of R. In or experience in only works with R version 2.9 and older. Thanks to a recent effort of our sysadmin, we can now use it with 2.15 - which is good, but not great, as our default version of R is now 3.0
According to the rpy list, using the latest code from SVN you should be able to get rpy v1 to work under R 3.0.1, http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=30999482
Although we haven't started to us it, I recommend using rpy2:
Indeed - rpy v1 is still being maintained in SVN, but hasn't had an official release with these fixed for over two years.
Most tools have been refactored by John Chilton
see: http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/rpy2-Core-Tools-td4659832.html
We're not making heavy use of rpy in Galaxy yet, but I hope John's good work switching to rpy2 gets integrated soon.
