| When i run above code with RStudio, it often got an error message :R Session

| 
|     double Con=0.;
|        for (int i=0;i<k;i++){
|        Con+=log(rooti(i,i));
|        }
|     Con+=-(k/2)*std::log(2*M_PI)
| 
| 
| it work well.

I can't replicate that.

For me it also segfaults when I comment out the vector operation and use the
loop, suggesting your error is somewhere else.

The Rcpp Gallery has a working dmvnorm using RcppArmadillo at 

    http://gallery.rcpp.org/articles/dmvnorm_arma/

If you want to use RcppEigen, I suggest you study the Eigen documentation
carefully and examine your program, possibly with the help of a debugger.
