Dear all, running the example by D. Eddebuettel (http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/blog/2011/04/23/) I get an error message. Specifically, the R code I was taking from the above example is
### BEGIN EXAMPLE ### suppressMessages(require(RcppArmadillo)) suppressMessages(require(Rcpp)) suppressMessages(require(inline)) code <- ' arma::mat coeff = Rcpp::as<arma::mat>(a); arma::mat errors = Rcpp::as<arma::mat>(e); int m = errors.n_rows; int n = errors.n_cols; arma::mat simdata(m,n); simdata.row(0) = arma::zeros<arma::mat>(1,n); for (int row=1; row<m; row++) { simdata.row(row) = simdata.row(row-1)*trans(coeff)+errors.row(row); } return Rcpp::wrap(simdata); ' ## create the compiled function rcppSim <- cxxfunction(signature(a="numeric",e="numeric"), code,plugin="RcppArmadillo") ### END OF EXAMPLE ### Executing this inside R, returned the following: ERROR(s) during compilation: source code errors or compiler configuration errors!

I think all I have to do is to edit some settings on my Windows 7 machine here, but the error message is too cryptic to me. Alas, I could also not find any thread or help topic that deals with this online. I appreciate any direct reply or reference where I can find a solution to this. Please let me know in case I am leaving out some essential details here.
