I'm experiencing a few issues trying to install rpy2-2.3.7 under Cygwin64 on Windows7 using R 3.0.1 and python 2.7

$ python setup.py install

finds R version to be 3.0.1 at the beginning of the install, but on line 158 it bombs out for failing to discover the R version. I commented that else clause out and let it roll, getting the following pile of errors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext

May I suggest virtualbox + linux ? (just installed rpy2 in one click in linux mint kde)
