[Rcpp-devel] RInside missing R.dll

[Dan Murphy]

Dirk,

I made some progress. I noticed that the only folder in
...\library\RInside\lib is i386, which explains why, when I set the
architecture to x64 in WINFILE.WIN, I get the error "g++.exe: error:
/libRInside.a: No such file or directory".

(Are there no x64 versions of libRInside.a and libRInside.dll?)

Assuming that rinside_sample0 is looking for the 32 bit versions of the
dll's, I copied R.dll, Rblas.dll, etc. to ...\examples\standard. Now I get
the error
"Fatal error: unable to open the base package". I tried copying all the
R*.exe's into the current directory, but no luck.

I feel like I am almost there! Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan
