[Rcpp-devel] Problems getting RInside to work on OS X

[Simon Zehnder]

Yepp,

had a similar problem when using my gcc-4.8.1 (clang does not yet provide the openmp library by default - coming soon with Intel’s openmp implementation). It could not find the headers cdefs.h, types.h, etc.
The $CFLAGS variable of my GCC-4.8.1 was defined but was not considered by R CMD INSTALL. I had to give the include path manually via MAKEFLAGS=“CFLAGS=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/include”.

I wonder though, why it uses in Clays case the llvm-g++-4.2 even if it is not there anymore?
