This is a new Ruby interface for R/S found at RubyForge .
Note that you’ll need to set the R_HOME and RHOME environment variable prior to installation.
On MacOX, RHOME=R_HOME=/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources.
On Ubuntu, when installed from source, RHOME=R_HOME=/usr/local/lib/R. It is useful to just drop this into /etc/environment so that this variable is set upon login.
Otherwise update /etc/bash_profile .

&] export R_HOME=/path/to/R/for/your/OS
&] export RHOME=/path/to/R/for/your/OS
&] sudo gem install rsruby -- --with-R-dir=$R_HOME
On Ubuntu
&] sudo gem install rsruby -- --with-R-home=/usr/lib/R --with-R-include=/usr/share/R/include

You may try to install it from source. Compile and install the Ruby library using setup.rb as shown. You need to supply
the location of your R installation for the libR shared library. This will usually be
the same as R_HOME.

&] cd rsruby
&] ruby setup.rb config -- --with-R-dir=/usr/lib/R
&] ruby setup.rb setup
&] sudo ruby setup.rb install

You may test it
&] ruby setup.rb test


&] irb -rrsruby
>> @R = RSRuby.instance
>> @R.wilcox_test([1,2,3],[4,5,6])
>> foo = @R.as_data_frame(1)
