[Rcpp-devel] Mac problem (possibly not Rcpp's fault)

[Jay Emerson]

I've Rcpp-ified the new package bcp (Bayesian change point analysis)
and it seems to work on Linux and Windows.  We're having some Mac
problems (and I don't have a Mac).  I have one current and one past
student, both getting similar problems in different ways.  For one,
she started with (I think) Rcpp installing properly, but the RESULT 1
bus error when trying to build bcp.  I recommended she rebuild R from
scratch using updated everyting; after doing so, she got a similar bus
error RESULT 2, this time in the process of trying to install Rcpp.
The other student has the same bus error.

I've exhausted my guesses and recommendations.  I note the same bus
error appears in some RcppModel logs, at

https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=155&log=build_mac&pkg=RcppModels&flavor=patched

?? Any advice ??

I downloaded Xcode 3.1.3 from the web and restarted the computer and
compiled R again. But Rcpp still cannot be installed; the error
message is the same:
