I run sudo pip install rpy2 and I get the following error output.

    ./rpy/rinterface/r_utils.c:32:31: fatal error: R_ext/Rallocators.h: No such file or directory
     #include <R_ext/Rallocators.h>
                                   ^
    compilation terminated.
    error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

    ----------------------------------------
Command "/usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-8KDxsc/rpy2/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-06pcwE-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-8KDxsc/rpy2

I did the best I could to install all relevant dependencies. Here are my versions:

selah@selah-OptiPlex-9020:~$ python --version
Python 2.7.6
selah@selah-OptiPlex-9020:~$ R --version
R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee Sailing"

The latest / current release of rpy2 requires a more recent version of R (current latest release of R is 3.2.x)

  • Great! I added deb http://cran.rstudio.com/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/ to my sources, updated and sudo apt-get install r-base fixed my problem. http://askubuntu.com/questions/431380/how-to-install-upgrade-r-base-to-3-02 – Selah Oct 03 '15 at 19:35
