D:\local\Software\python\rpy2-2.1.5\rpy2-2.1.5>python -V
Python 2.6.6




i tried all the combinations for  {python2.6.5 , python2.6.6} {R2.10.1,
R2.11.1, R2.12.0} {rpy2.15, rpy2.17, rpy_cvs2.1.x, rpycvs2.2.x}

moreover, when i try C:\R\R-2.12.0\bin\R" CMD config --ldflags by hand
(and the same applies to R2.11 and R2.10) i get:

C:\>C:\r\r-2.10.1\BIN\R CMD config --ldflags
'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.



i dont know what's wrong in my system..
