Comment (by charpent):

 Messing around with the dynamic library mechanism does not seem to be such
 a great idea.  The 3.0.1.p1 patch gives (on Debian amd64 testing) an
 executable which is unable to install some packages using external
 libraries ( among them tcl/tk, curl, sqlite3 and more important, cpp
 libraries). I had oddles of trouble trying to install packages depending
 on RcppArmadillo. Reverting to the 3.0.1.p0 patch solved this problem.

 I'd be sorely tempted to change the status to "needs work" ... if I knew
 how to do this.

 I'd like to recommend :

  1. to keep the (simple) fix to get the 3.0.1 sources (which, AFAIU,
 compile fine on Unices and Mac OS X) and leave the dynamic library gizmoes
 alone, and
  1. to open *'''another'''* ticket for the dynamic library issues, which,
 if I understand the history, aim to compile this cleanly on cygwin.



 HTH,

           Emmanuel Charpentier
