It depends. In the simplest case, you just have /usr/local/lib/libcmaes.so and after running 'sudo ldconfig' (to update the ldconf cache) you should see it when you do 'ldconfig -p | grep cmaes'. When libraries are installed by the distribution, you often get something like this: edd@max:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/libgsl.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 10 2014 /usr/lib/libgsl.so -> libgsl.so.0.17.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 10 2014 /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0 -> libgsl.so.0.17.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2221616 Jul 10 2014 /usr/lib/libgsl.so.0.17.0 edd@max:~$ So it depends on where you got libcmaes from, and how you installed it. None of this has anything to do with Rcpp. You are simply trying to figire out how to work with a local library. And you will have the same issue in 5-line C program against the cmaes library. So I would suggest you seek some help from a more experienced programmer around you at Agro Paris, and come back when you can build and run a simple C program/ Dirk -- http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org _______________________________________________ Rcpp-devel mailing list Rcpp-devel@lists.r-forge.r-project.org https://lists.r-forge.r-project.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rcpp-devel
