[Rcpp-devel] dyn.load error - symbol not found - expected in: flat namespace

I'm still having this problem.
I progressively increased the complexity of my code, because my ultimate goal is to integrate a series of C++ classes to perform some functions external to R.
My test examples worked well, and I just noticed in order to generate the shared object I have to compile together all the classes connected to each others, like this.
PKG_CPPFLAGS=`Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::CxxFlags()'` PKG_LIBS=`Rscript -e 'Rcpp:::LdFlags()'` R CMD SHLIB ClassFive.cpp ClassOne.cpp ClassTwo.cpp ClassThree.cpp ClassFour.cpp
When I finally compiled my real code, I didn't get any compilation error, but I still got from within R the error message:
Error in dyn.load("ClassFive.so") :
unable to load shared object [...]
Symbol not found: __ZN3re23RE23Arg11parse_floatEPKciPv
I checked for the issues that generated the same problem before, i.e. constructor and deconstructors, and they are all ok.
I couldn't find any explicit call to "parse_float" which seems to be reported in the error message.
To start, I linked only one class to R and one method only of the very same class.
I understand it might be quite difficult to identify the specific problem without going through lots of code (I have now 5 different classes, each with several methods).
Is there a number of possible mistakes leading to such kind of messages, that could help me narrow down the cause?
Thanks very much for any help,
Francesco

Argh.. Apologies guys.. Found the error myself.
Constructor and deconstructor must be specified with {} even if no code is foreseen for them.
A novice error, hope at least highlighting it could be useful to other newbies like me :-)
cheers,
Francesco

Hi there,
I've seen other posts similar to this one, but I'm a complete novice in the use of Rcpp and couldn't really figure out how to solve the issue.
I'm learning how to use Rcpp before connecting R to some C++ classes I'm developing.
I started with a simple home made example, but in both cases compiling .cpp and header files or compiling inline code, I get the same outcome error "unable to load shared object" and then "Symbol not found" with some characters before and after my class name.
I've seen Mac OS might have some issues, therefore I tested it also on an Ubuntu virtual machine, but the result is the same error message.
Also, I'm using an R-devel version here but I'm having the same problem with R 14 as well.
I'll copy below all the relevant information (bit lengthy, I'm sorry).
I'd really appreciate some help here to point me in the right direction.
thanks very much,
Francesco
