That seems so wrong on so many levels.

Why on earth R 2.11.0?  And Rcpp 0.8.6? And why on earth on a current OS?

If you really must use an R version that was current in May 2010 (!!!) and is
hence three years and six major releases behind, then I would recommend to
simply pick the (ancient) Ubuntu version that is closes, say 10.04 or 10.10.
I won't even bother counting the number of Rcpp releases you miss that way.

There is an interplay of Rcpp with the compilers.  We work hard to keep
things current, so you could (without any effort) get the current versions of
everything. 

For the rest, you are on own. Good luck.

Dirk
