[Rcpp-devel] Problem installing Rcpp version 0.12.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[Pierre Lafaye de Micheaux]

Dear all,

I tried to install roxygen2 and got an error at compilation time. So I 
tried first to install the last version of Rcpp but it failed (see below).

lafaye at XPS13UdeM:~$ R --version
R version 3.2.0 (2015-04-16) -- "Full of Ingredients"
Copyright (C) 2015 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)


lafaye at XPS13UdeM:~$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.9.2-0ubuntu1~12.04) 4.9.2



lafaye at XPS13UdeM:~$ sudo R CMD INSTALL Rcpp_0.12.2.tar.gz

I have no idea on what goes wrong but I hope you could give some clue on 
what I could do?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pierre L.
