[Rcpp-devel] Manual Rcpp installation failure

[Alain Forget]

Hi all,

I need to manually download and install Rcpp for R-3.1.2 on CentOS. I downloaded Rcpp from the "Package source" link here:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcpp/index.html

I then unpacked the tar.gz, and ran the following command to install the package, which resulted in the errors below:

$ R CMD INSTALL Rcpp -l  my/R/packages/directory
* installing *source* package 'Rcpp' ...
** package 'Rcpp' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** libs
Warning: R include directory is empty -- perhaps need to install R-devel.rpm or similar

I'm guessing there's something basic I am not aware of? Any suggestions or assistance in manually installing Rcpp would be greatly appreciated, since so many other packages depend on Rcpp, so we're rather stuck until this works.

Thank you,
Alain
