[Rcpp-devel] Manual Rcpp installation failure

[Alain Forget]

Hey Dirk (and Rccp-devels),

Centos 6.3

I have tried looking for R-devel but have been unsuccessful in even figuring out what it is (an R package? Its own standalone software?). Could you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Alain

You may be missing R-devel (which is what CentOS/RHEL/Fedora calls it IIRC) which supplies the R headers.  Rcpp needs them.
