Yes that's the same error. When I try this:

```
...
this(R_xlen_t n)
  {
    SEXPTYPE _real_ = SEXPTYPE.REALSXP;
    _data = protect(allocVector(_real_, n));
    unprotect(1);
  }
...
```

I get a slightly more interesting error message:

```
types.d(43): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression `14` of 
type `int` to `__tag28`
```

So it's not recognising `REALSXP` as an `SEXPTYPE`, it's as if it 
is treating `SEXPTYPE` like a `struct` rather than an `enum`.

Also I was wandering, how long will it take release a fix for 
ImportC? I am aware that it is a new feature, the reason I ask is 
not to try to rush anyone but to plan my time better.

Many thanks
