install rpy2 on Windows7 64bit for Python 2.7

Question

I am trying to build and install rpy2 Python Module. But got an error (see below).

I have R installed in C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.15.0\\ and R.h

Answer 1

I am working through the same myself. The libraries etc. Located indicate that you are picking up the 32 bit version i386. Add "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\include" include directory may help force fix the problem. This is the farthest I have got:

building 'rpy2.rinterface._rinterface' extension
error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

With the MSVC express shell and R x64 and msys sh in path.
