[Rcpp-devel] Problems running RInside 0.2.5 on Windows with R 2.14.1 and Rtools 21[45]

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Diomidis,

I am CC'ing this back to the rcpp-devel list where all RInside comments
should go too.  Could you follow-up on list as well? (Subscriptions needed to
post; else use gmane or nabble to post via web.)

As of the last release 0.2.5 (which you seem to be using) everything should
just work with 'make -f Makefile.win' in the examples/standard/ directory.  

What is your platform if it doesn't work?  I tested on XP 32bit, R 2.14.0 (or
rc), Rtools 2.14.

Modules is always extra tricky; I will check once back in the office.  Do the
standard examples work for you?
