So in essence, demonstrate to yourself that you have a working tool chain. I
hear OS X can be picky; I personally do not own such a machine.

But try this

R> evalCpp( "std::numeric_limits<double>::max()" )
[1] 1.79769e+308                  ## from help(evalCpp)
R> evalCpp("sqrt(2)")
[1] 1.41421

or just a simple:

R> cppFunction('double doubleUp(double x) { return(2*x); }')
R> doubleUp(21)
[1] 42
R> 

Dito for inline. Try the __simple__ examples first.  

As you say that you have the Rcpp book, maybe spend some time with Chapter 2
dedicated to the setup.
