Hi, Yes, the problem is with spaces in path names. This has been fixed and will appear as Rcpp 0.7.8 in a few days. If you are in a rush, you can build it from svn, or quote the path that is returned from CxxFlags. Feel free to get back to us with more questions, although I'd encourage you

It's been a while since I proposed syrfr and I have been constantly in contact with the many people in the R community and I wasn't able to find a mentor for the project. I later got interested in the Automatic Differentiation proposal (adinr) and, on consulting with a few others within the R commu
