Ok. Another question: I wanted to use RInternal and compile the following
small test example:
#include <RInside.h>
const char* hello( std::string who ) {
std::string result( "hello ") ;
result += who ;
return result.c_str() ;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
RInside R(argc, argv);
R["hello"] = Rcpp::InternalFunction( &hello );
std::string result = R.parseEval("hello('world')") ;
std::cout << "hello( 'world') = " << result << std::endl ;
return 0;
}
However, I get:

/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/Rcpp/include/Rcpp/storage/storage.h:4:0,

Any ideas what's going wrong?
