RSPYTHON install failed on Mac
Without seeing config.log, we have no more idea than you do. This is an Omegahat package, and either its list or the R-sig-mac list would be far more appropriate than this one. But I suspect the answer is clear from config.log -- unpack the package before installing to see it.
