Yeah, right, between me and my computers? Well, I did the legwork to track down your mistakes and here is at least one that causes the test to fail:

* installing *source* package 'testRcppModule' ...
** libs
*** arch - i386
[...]
g++ -arch i386 -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include/i386  -I/usr/local/include -I"/private/tmp/ttt/l/Rcpp/include"   -fPIC  -g -O2 -c stdVector.cpp -o stdVector.o
stdVector.cpp: In function 'void _rcpp_module_stdVector_init()':
stdVector.cpp:36: error: call of overloaded 'method(const char [7], <unresolved overloaded function type>)' is ambiguous

make: *** [stdVector.o] Error 1

You owe me one.

Cheers,
Simon
