Hi, Thanks for the reply!
I am not sure if I did correctly. Now I configure with the following. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R/R-2.9.2 --with-gnu-ld --with-cairo --with-x --enable-R-fPIC Make and make install with no errors. However when I install rpy2, it states that "R was not built as a library" [r...@plap03 rpy2-2.1.1]# python setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_ext R was not built as a library Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 302, in <module> [os.path.join('doc', 'source', 'rpy2_logo.png')])] File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/core.py", line 152, in setup dist.run_commands() File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py", line 975, in run_commands self.run_command(cmd) File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py", line 995, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/command/install.py", line 577, in run self.run_command('build') File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py", line 995, in run_command cmd_obj.run() File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/command/build.py", line 134, in run self.run_command(cmd_name) File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/cmd.py", line 333, in run_command self.distribution.run_command(command) File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/dist.py", line 994, in run_command cmd_obj.ensure_finalized() File "/usr/local/python2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/cmd.py", line 117, in ensure_finalized self.finalize_options() File "setup.py", line 121, in finalize_options include_dirs = get_rconfig(r_home, '--cppflags')[0].split() File "setup.py", line 196, in get_rconfig raise Exception(cmd + '\nreturned\n' + rconfig) Exception: "/usr/local/R/R-2.9.2/lib64/R/bin/R" CMD config --cppflags returned Thanks again :) Regards, Padma On 5/13/10 11:30 PM, "Uwe Ligges" <lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de> wrote: On 13.05.2010 11:45, Padma TAN wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to compile R with the command below in order to install rpy2. > > ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/R/R-2.9.2 --with-gnu-ld --with-cairo > --with-x --enable-R-shlib > > > However, error the I have gotten was: > /usr/bin/ld: CConverters.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `R_FunTab' can > not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC > CConverters.o: could not read symbols: Bad value > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[3]: *** [libR.so] Error 1 > > I don't really understand the error message.

Note the last sentence above and try again, i.e. use a recent version of R and report the version number as well as the OS and the compilers in use.
