I look every now and then at RPy. It is not yet a Debian package as it
had the odd problem here or there -- initially an Atlas interaction,
currently something with long_jump() which cannot be found when R's dynamic
library is loaded. [1] It is called  R_eval.c:

/* Abort the current R computation and signal a KeyboardInterrupt
   exception */
void interrupt_R(int signum)
{
  interrupted = 1;
  jump_now(); 
}
       
By commenting it out, the package builds and is usable (modulo the absence
of interrupt handling, I suppose).

Could someone give me a pointer or suggestion as to what the replacement for
jump_now() would be?

Luke, resourceful as always, pointed me to Rf_onintr() which does the trick.
I may prepare a Debian test package of RPy.  So if you are a present or past
user of RPy, and if you happen to have a Debian system, please do drop me a
line if you would like to test it.
