[Lots of stuff deleted] I am not sure how helpful this post really was. You seem to spend a lot of time explaining how to overcome non-standard issue on your system --- which happens to be non-standard because of *your* local modifications. I don't believe that really warrants advertising an a list dedicated to helping Debian and Ubuntu users employ R which (at least in my book) should default to using the package management system. That is why we all use .deb-based systems in the first place. Generally speaking, on Debian/Ubuntu installing RInside is as simple as first installing Rcpp (which could even come from 'apt-get install r-cran-rcpp') followed by installing RInside from the respective CRAN sources. The default R packages (on Debian and Ubuntu) supports all this out of the box. After all, this is how I develop them, and it's similar for Romain even if he doesn't use Debian or Ubuntu.
