Thanks in advance.
I think the problem is in your configuration of R. You may be able to use gcc to compile C++ source code (although it does get confused, as exhibited by the error messages from the compilation of Data.cpp) but it won't link with the C++ libraries properly. On most Linux systems R CMD config CXX should return g++, not gcc I think you will need to do the configuration of R again. I don't know much about the Red Hat family of distributions but is there a precompiled binary from CRAN that you could use instead of compiling yourself? _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
