This is not an unfortunate error. The transition is not as smooth as it 
ought to be. Partly due to Apple, partly due to R.

Did you compile Rcpp from source ? If not then you are using Rcpp from 
cran that was built with another compiler (gcc 4.2 or an llvm emulation 
of it).

Judging from what I see below, it is likely to be the extent of the 
problem.
