title: rpy2 install on windows 7
body: <p>I'm trying to install rpy2 on my computer, but I wasn't able to do it.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded the source package and I tryed to install Rpy2 (rpy2-2.3.2) using the command <code>python setup.py install</code>. This is the result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>running install
  running build
  running build_py
  running build_ext
  "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-215~1.2\bin\R" CMD config --ldflags
  "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-215~1.2\bin\R" CMD config --cppflags
  "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-215~1.2\bin\R" CMD config LAPACK_LIBS
  
  returned an empty string.
  
  "C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-215~1.2\bin\R" CMD config BLAS_LIBS
  
  returned an empty string.

  <p>I also tried with <code>build install</code> and <code>easy_install</code> without success. I have R 2.15.2, Python 2.7.2 and Windows 7 (32 bit).</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>PS.if I paste that command, the result is:</p>
  
  <p>cygwin warning:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MS-DOS style path detected C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-215~1.2\bin\config.sh
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.2/bin/config.sh
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
