[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp installation fails with undefined symbol: _ZTISo - what library am I missing?

Many thanks Dirk,

I seem unable to specify an alternate compiler.  configure.args and configure.vars with CC or CXX designations do not appear to invoke an alternate compiler.

Again, I'm not finding this addressed in any other way in the R-admin pdf or other info sources.  Can you tell me where to look, or what the incantation is to get install.packages to signal that an alternate compiler is wanted?

Do I need to compile R itself using g++ from the outset?

Warning message:
In install.packages("Rcpp", configure.args = "CXX=/share/data/usr/bin/g++") :

The c++filt tool is helpful:

  edd at max:~$ c++filt _ZTISo
  typeinfo for std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >
  edd at max:~$

This suggests basic iostream, ie C++ input/output. And indeed ...

That is a) a bug OUCH for having to cope with a five-year old compiler
(gcc-4.4) but b) a serious error on your part: you generally want __g++__ and
not gcc for C++ code.  One of the differences is that g++ automagically links
against the C++ libraries.

That may be all you need.
