When trying to emerge rpy, the build fails with: Building for R version 2.1.0 ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 136, in ? RSRC = get_R_SRC() File "setup.py", line 57, in get_R_SRC raise DistutilsExecError( \ distutils.errors.DistutilsExecError: The path /var/tmp/portage/rpy-0.4.1/work/rpy-0.4.1/R-2.1.0 which should contain header files for R version 2.1.0 does not exist! If I unpack the R-2.1.0 source headers manually into /var/tmp/portage/rpy-0.4.1/work/rpy-0.4.1 and manually compile with: ebuild /usr/portage/dev-python/rpy/rpy-0.4.1.ebuild compile ebuild /usr/portage/dev-python/rpy/rpy-0.4.1.ebuild merge then it will install and work.

Created attachment 58210 [details] Modified ebuild This is a modified ebuild that I used to solve the problem. I'm not sure it meets any kind of official Gentoo standards, as it's a hack, but I'd thought I would put it up here anyways.
Created attachment 58211 [details] R-2.1.0 headers required by modified ebuild This file complements the modified ebuild i posted. It should be put in: /usr/portage/dev-python/rpy/files/
*** Bug 140842 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
this should of been fixed in 0.4.6 and R-2.2.1.
