Upgrading R and rpy2

When upgrading R version, you must recompile rpy2.

Let us take a case study based on the upgrade of R2.15 to R2.15.1.

First, you need to download the source from the main page http://www.r-project.org/

Once downloaded, get the source tar ball and unzipped it.

You should have a file called R-2.15.1.tar.gz and if unzipped, a directory called R-2.15.1

cd R-2.15.1
./configure --enable-R-shlib
make
sudo make install

Second, try:

sudo easy_install rpy2

if it does not work, get the source and compile rpy2 from the source.
