#1 ImportError: ld.so.1

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have just installed R 2.1.0 and Python2.3 onto my
Solaris 9.
I have also installed NumPy as recommended before
installing RPy. When running script.py that imports
RPy I get an error:
...
from rpy import *
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rpy.py",
line 38, in ?
import _rpy
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: libg2c.so.0: open
failed: No such file or directory

What is wrong and how can I fix it?
The only obvious discrepancy between my installation of
RPy and instructions in readme was that I couldn't
change the line
LIBR_LDFLAGS = -shared in Makeconf file simply because
there was no such line there.
Please, help.
Thanks
Anna

Hi,
I have resolved the issue I had reported here and think that
it'd be useful to post the resolution for others.
The reason was that libg2c.so.0 library couldn't be found
even though I had both gcc and g77 compilers installed
previously and correctly. I have SPARC Solaris 9.
So I have just added the path to this library in my .cshrc
file along with the path to R library as it was recommended
in installation of RPy:
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH = ($LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib/R/bin/ /usr/local/lib)
This seemed to has resolved the problem completely.
Import rpy went fine without any errors.

Sorry, wrong syntax. Should be:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib/R/bin/:/usr/local/lib
