problem installing on mac about rpy2 HOT 5 OPEN

Hi roybka,

I had the same problem and I solved today by installing the version 3.5.12, instead of the latest one.
pip3 install rpy2==3.5.12

Hope this can help,
Chiara

from rpy2.

@chiara111p111 Solved! thanks a lot.
I think I'll keep this open since the authors of the repo might want to fix it in the current version.

from rpy2.

Can you share the output of running

pip install -v -U rpy2

?

In particular, I am interested in the section that reports the R setup and the C libraries. It should start with
something like:

Building wheels for collected packages: rpy2
  Running command Building wheel for rpy2 (pyproject.toml)
  cffi mode is CFFI_MODE.ANY
  Looking for R home with: R RHOME
  R home found: /usr/local/packages/R/4.3/lib/R
  R exec path: /usr/local/packages/R/4.3/lib/R/bin/R
(...)

from rpy2.

Voila

The CI pipeline is now building "universal" binary on silicon, although with warnings.
See https://github.com/rpy2/rpy2/actions/runs/8106498299/job/22156525623#step:6:308 and following lines.

The library pcre2-8, that is missing on your system, is present there (but built for a different architecture).
