[Pythonmac-SIG] RPy and libR.dylib

[Gerry Brush]

Walter Moreira has just announced a Python interface 
http://www.cmat.edu.uy/~walterm/rpy to the R (gnu S) statistical 
package.  When I try to import it using mach-o python I get the 
following error.  I don't know if this is a Python or and R question, 
but does anyone know how I can make this work?  It would be very handy 
to have the R statistical library available to my Python code.  Thanks.

Gerry
