RPy / R

[jason]

Hello:

I installed the following:

python-2.4.2.msi
pywin32-207.win32-py2.4.exe
R-2.2.1-win32.exe
rpy-0.4.6-R-2.0.0-to-2.2.1-py24.win32.exe

on a Windows XP (SP2) box.

When I try to run the following (source:
http://rpy.sourceforge.net/plotting-with-RPy.html) in IDLE

from rpy import *
x = range(0, 10)
y = [ 2*i for i in x ]
r.plot_default(x, y)

I get a window entitled "pythonw.exe" which says: pythonw.exe has
encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience.

And then in IDLE
When try the following test (from
http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy/doc/manual.pdf page 5),

from rpy import *
r.wilcox_test
r.wilcox_test([1,2,3], [4,5,6])

I get for the second line:
<Robj object at 0x0099D180>
And then for the third line I get the same error.

Is this a setup issue? Thanks for your help.

Jason,

the example runs here without problems.

My configuration:

Python 2.3.5 (#2, Aug 30 2005, 15:50:26)
[GCC 4.0.2 20050821 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.1-6)] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
{'status': '', 'major': '2', 'language': 'R', 'os': 'linux-gnu', 'svn
rev': '36812', 'system': 'i486, linux-gnu', 'month': '12', 'platform':
'i486-pc-linux-gnu', 'year': '2005', 'arch': 'i486', 'day': '20',
'minor': '2.1'}

Seems to be a problem with your installation...

Hi Jason

I had more success, being able to run a few test programs.
Not sure why yours would be crashing - I have a similar setup (Win XP
SP2 with all updates) - my version of Python is the Activestate download
(ActivePython-2.4.2.10-win32-x86.msi). Have you installed Numeric?
If all else fails might be worth trying to unistall Python and
installing the Activestate version (which includes the Win32 extensions).

Good luck

Eddie

Thanks for your response. I'll try to install all the same versions that you
have.

I have removed my version of Python and installed ActivePython
(ActivePython-2.4.2.10-win32-x86.msi).

Could you please tell me which versions of the following you have installed:
NumPy
SciPy
RPy
R

I have not installed Numeric. Is that different from NumPy? If so, which
version do you have?

Thanks.

R = 2.2.1
Rpy = rpy-0.4.6-R-2.0.0-to-2.2.1-py24.win32.exe
Active Python = ActivePython-2.4.2.10-win32-x86.msi
Numeric = Numeric-24.2.win32-py2.4.exe
NumPy = numpy-0.9.4.win32-py2.4.exe
I don't believe I have installed SciPy

The Numeric and NumPy differences are explained at http://numeric.scipy.org/
