[Rcpp-devel] RcppEigen: Windows binary from CRAN crashes R, but not when installing from source.

[Yixuan Qiu]

Hi Henrik,
There seems to be a similar problem here in my package, reported by
https://github.com/yixuan/rARPACK/issues/4.
The reporter said that the runtime error occured when using RStudio, but
disappeared in RGui. Is this the same situation as yours?


Best,
Yixuan
