R-devel, python, and rpy

Perhaps this is a silly question for the lis, but I can't seem to get  
rpy  ( http://rpy.sourceforge.net)  fully working with this version of  
R.  some basic functions work, but little else.

When I try to import the rpy module in python I get the following  
error.
		

		>>> from rpy import *

		Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
	        		unable to load shared library  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.0/Resources/library/ 
stats/libs/stats.so":
		  dlcompat: dyld: python can't open library: libR.dylib  (No such  
file or directory, errno = 2)
		Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
		        unable to load shared library  
"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.0.0/Resources/library/ 
methods/libs/methods.so":
		  dlcompat: dyld: python can't open library: libR.dylib  (No such  
file or directory, errno = 2)
		In addition: Warning message:
		package stats in options("defaultPackages") was not found


but some commands still work such as

		>>> r.seq(1,10)

		[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

but if I try to do anything fancier, I get errors and if I try to load  
a library it crashes.

In the README for rpy it tells me I need to build R with the following
configure option    '--enable-R-shlib

I am not at all sure what this means, should I download the source and  
just rebuild R locally?

Any help or clarification would be fantastic.
thanks in advance

The new version of R-devel on http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/pub has
binaries for about 480 packages. It includes native versions
of RGtk and some of its friends (RGtkConsole, RGtkViewers,
RGtkScrollPane), which allow you to write portable GUI R
applications (with the Aqua look on OS X). The caveat is that
both RGtk and the GTK+OSX frameworks are still incomplete, so
some widgets are inevitably missing.

Observe that this version has no support for X11, uses Aqua
Tcl/Tk, and is intended to be used from either Terminal.app
or Emacs.app, and not from R.app.
