Hi Jay,

Thanks for posting here!

Hm, it so happens that Romain committed something today (r2950) which seems
to be around the same or similar spot -- I have not been hit by anything like
it.  OS X uses g++ 4.2.1 which is starting to pose challenges as we are being
pushed at the same time to use g++ 4.5 and even 4.6 (now in Debian unstable
and already used by Kurt on CRAN tests).

We sort-of have 0.9.3 pre-releases; we are being hang-up by a modules issue
right now we are debugging. Rcpp 0.9.3 may help you -- can you and your
students try the version from my site at
    
   http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp/Rcpp_0.9.3.tar.gz 

I just put a new tarball there that corresponds to r2956 which is very
current.  Passes R CMD check here... but it not 'officially released' so it
bites your cat and sets your car on fire none of that is our business :)

Romain may have more pertinent help for the OS X issues.

Dirk
