In all honesty, you may want to think a little about this and just consider using R from the Ubuntu repo at CRAN. I put a fair amount of care into them, release the day of R releases, and Michael and the mirroring typically catch up in another day or two. These work. Reliably. I use them on a number of machines at work.

That's an Rcpp issue, so I would have to send you back to the rcpp-devel list :) But if I understand you correctly it works with the R binaries, which is what I ran. So nothing to replicate at my end. You may need to work this out at your end.
