not a dupe, this is because rpy-0.4.6 is only compatible with R-2.2.x.

[Comment 4 BORGULYA Gábor 2006-07-28 04:22:54 UTC]

Yes, I can confirm: rpy-0.4.6 did compile with R-2.2.1, but not with R-2.3.

[Comment 5 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2006-07-28 05:17:45 UTC]

Added rpy-0.99.2 and added a patch to fix their version check (#140842)
