Nope. See below. | For test purposes, I try to compile the following (copied from r-bloggers): [...] | c:/rbuildtools/3.1/gcc-4.6.3/bin/../lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/4.6.3/../../../../ | i686-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lgsl ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You need to communicate to your systeh where GSL is. Linux and OS X do that by querying the gsl-config script. Windows does that by querying the environment variable LIB_GSL, see src/Makevars.win and this comment: ## This assumes that the LIB_GSL variable points to working GSL libraries The RcppGSL package comes with its test package examples/RcppGSLExample -- I would recommend trying to build that first.
