reassign 510251 postgresql-8.3-plr thanks Andreas,
First off, thanks for maintaining pl-r. I wasn't aware that it has landed in your lap. I was aware that the Pg maintainers didn't really want it (for lack of R expertise) but I had no spare capacity to take it on myself.

It also affected things I maintain such as the RPy package. So the error is plainly with the client package. It is not an R issue inasmuch as that these interface were never public (yet pl/R is a well-known example even used in the 'R Extensions' manual about embedding). | I learned that Rgraphics.h is lacking as well | and once you include these both in the plr source tree and try to | build against R 2.8 you get something like: Did you talk Joe Conway about this? Joe as upstream author has always been very responsive clueful when I contacted him about pl/R (which I had played with over the years). Now the final question for Faheem: Pl/R has existed in Debian for years. Why did you think you needed to rebuild it for etch? Were you lacking a particular combination of versions of R and/or Pg on etch ? I'm sure we can sort all this out.
