[Rcpp-devel] RcppArmadillo and the version of Rcpp

Fri Nov 8 12:04:32 CET 2013

If it helps, I recently had similar problems. In the end I realised that I needed to update my installation of R to 3.0.2 to get RcppArmadillo to work. Update R, then update Rcpp, then RcppArmadillo should install from CRAN no problem.

Best wishes,

Mat

Hi

I hope its not inappropriate for me to post this as a follow up to my problems with getting RcppArmadillo to work. I tried to compile from source using R CMD INSTALL as Dirk suggested but am getting the error message below. I don't know if this particular problem is related to a small issue I had getting Rcpp to work from within RStudio: for some reason RStudio was not seeing the correct system environment path and so could not find the compiler. I managed to resolve this by explicitly setting the path when I start RStudio using Sys.setenv(). The error I get when trying to install RcppArmadillo is as follows (specifically see the errors at the bottom):

C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.1\library>R CMD INSTALL RcppArmadillo*tar.gz

* installing to library 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.1/library'

* installing *source* package 'RcppArmadillo' ...

** package 'RcppArmadillo' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

** libs

*** arch - i386

cygwin warning:

  MS-DOS style path detected: C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.1/etc/i386/Makeconf

  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/R/R-215~1.1/etc/i386/Makec

onf

  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.

  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

make: *** [RcppArmadillo.o] Error 1

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RcppArmadillo'

* removing 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.15.1/library/RcppArmadillo'

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Greg

Bad idea to have R installed in a path with spaces.

You likely need a newer Rcpp. Chances are you are using Rcpp < 0.10.5 and the RcppArmadillo you are trying to compiler requires Rcpp >= 0.10.5
