[Rprotobuf-yada] Compiling on RHEL 64 bit Linux

[Saptarshi Guha]

Hello,

I tried installing rprotobuf on Linux(64 bit) but ran into the following error

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/rprotobuf
cd rprotobuf
R CMD INSTALL pkg

g++ -I/ln/meraki/custom/lib64/R/include
-I/ln/meraki/custom/lib64/R/library/Rcpp/lib -pthread
-I/ln/meraki/custom/include   -I/usr/local/include    -fpic  -g -O2 -c
as.cpp -o as.o

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'RProtoBuf'
** Removing '/ln/meraki/custom/lib64/R/library/RProtoBuf'


Have I missed something?

On another note, since Google's protobuf actually uses pthreads, I think it is a
good idea to set R_CStackLimit (I don't see it in rprotobuf source, but since it
links with RCpp, is this already set?). I have set this to -1 in my library,
which fixed some very hard to decipher bugs. Also, I can load my libraries /and/
debug using GDB.


Thanks
