[Rcpp-devel] trying installing RcppCNPy with -std=c++11 (or c++0x) and failed due to incompatible number of arguments

[Gong-Yi Liao]

Dear list,

I tried to load integer data from a Python .npy file by using RcppCNPy, 
while I tried to install RcppCNPy, I got the following error messages:
-----------------------------------------

My system specification:

Platform: x86-64
OS: Linux kernel 3.8.0-6-generic (Ubuntu Raring amd64)
GCC: 4.7.2 (Ubuntu package version: 4.7.2-21ubuntu3)
glibc: 2.17 (Ubuntu package version: 2.17-0ubuntu4)
libstdc++6-4.7-dev (Ubuntu package version: 4.7.2-21ubuntu3)


It seems that this problem is caused by some function defined 
in"codecvt.h".
Does anyone have encountered similar problem ?

Thanks!

Gong.
