Thank you again. Indeed I failed to compile Rccp from source (even with R version 3.2.3). But I will definitely look at what you propose. I was happy with my DELL XPS13 Developer Edition Ubuntu laptop but I will really need to upgrade at least to 14.04 ...

Best wishes

Pierre

PS If you fail to compile Rcpp from source you can even get it prebuilt for
you. What you need is to add the marutter c2d4u PPA from

     https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/ubuntu/c2d4u

Where is an 'apt-cache policy r-cran-rcpp' run in a dedicated Docker
container which knows about this PPA and the other marutter PPA, and is set
to Ubuntu precise aka 12.04:

edd@max:~$ docker run --rm -ti rocker/r-apt:precise apt-cache policy r-cran-rcpp
r-cran-rcpp:
   Installed: (none)
   Candidate: 0.12.2-1ppa0precise0
   Version table:
      0.12.2-1ppa0precise0 0
         500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/marutter/c2d4u/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64

amd64 Packages
      0.9.9-1 0
         500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
edd@max:~$

You get roxygen2 and some other 2500+ plus packages from there too.

Very useful service -- while I don't use ancient Ubuntu versions on my
machines, I rely on this for Travis quite a bit.
