[Rcpp-devel] RInside error running examples after installing from source on Ubuntu 12.04

[Nicholas Pezolano]

Sorry for not replying sooner,

here was my response off the mailing list to Dirk,

I installed R from source because I'm on a non-standard setup without root
access, that is using an older version of Ubuntu 12.04, where the packages
in R aren't up to date, RInside won't install because It requires a newer
version of R. I tried to install from source but like you said I have no
idea where i shot myself in the foot, I followed the example makefile and
used the example codes supplied in your package. I've asked the system
admins of my university and convinced them to update 12.10 which should
solve all the problems above. Thank you very much for all your help.
