can not import rpy: RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2092

[Thomas Bechtold]

i want to use rpy with ubuntu karmic. The error is easy to reproduce:

tom@pina:~$ python
Python 2.6.2+ (release26-maint, Sep 13 2009, 21:24:39)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/rpy.py", line 134, in <module>
    """ % RVERSION)
RuntimeError: No module named _rpy2092

      RPy module can not be imported. Please check if your rpy
      installation supports R 2.9.2. If you have multiple R versions
      installed, you may need to set RHOME before importing rpy. For
      example:

      >>> from rpy_options import set_options
      >>> set_options(RHOME='c:/progra~1/r/rw2011/')
      >>> from rpy import *

>>>

What do you think about syncing (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess) rpy -11 from Debian?
