Hi, 

Recently I am trying to use GSL for improving my code and I found RcppGSL is really great. BUT I am stuck by configuring it for a few days. What I've done is as: 

1. Install Rcpp and RcppGSL; 
2. Download "local320.zip" file and unzipped it as "LIB_GSL" 
3. Add an environment variable LIB_GSL, and make it as "D:/LIB_GSL" 
4. Edit the "Makevars.win" as follows: 

PKG_CPPFLAGS=-I$(LIB_GSL)/include -I../inst/include 
PKG_LIBS=-L$(LIB_GSL)/lib/x64 -lgsl -lgslcblas $(shell "${R_HOME}/bin${R_ARCH_BIN}/Rscript.exe" -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()") 

Then I started to run the example code: 

> sourceCpp("bSpline.cpp") 

I got the following errors: 

g++ -m64 -I"D:/PROGRA~1/R/R-31~1.1/include" -DNDEBUG -ID:/LIB_GSL/include -ID:/LIB_GSL/include -I../inst/include -I"D:/PROGRA~1/R/R-31~1.1/library/Rcpp/include" -I"D:/PROGRA~1/R/R-31~1.1/library/RcppGSL/include" -I"E:/Dropbox/Paper/HIGHPE~1/packages/RcppGSL/inst/examples/bSpline" -I"d:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs64/local/include" -O2 -Wall -mtune=core2 -c bSpline.cpp -o bSpline.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 

I've no idea what happened. Did I miss anything or do something wrongly? Many thanks! 

Best regards, 

Binbin
