rPython installation problem

This is not a specific question for this list, but there may be interest 
in this fresh and as yet unproven package. What does:

locate libpython2.7

say on your system? On current Fedora, I see:

/usr/lib64/libpython2.7.so

with:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.5

as per the advice in:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rPython/INSTALL

Your system should provide python, but may have only the python, not both 
that and the python-devel RPMs installed. If you have installed 
libpython2.7.so locally, you may need to adjust your LD_LIBRARY_PATH so 
that the library is visible. If you can get your sysadmin to add the 
python-devel RPM, life may be easier. Also, write to the package 
maintainer suggesting that libpython be checked in configure.

Hope this helps,
