To slightly hi-jack the thread, I have troubles building 'rugarch' on
Xubuntu. The command
install.packages("rugarch")

fails with the following last lines:

-I"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/Rcpp/include"
-I"/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/RcppArmadillo/include"   -fpic

anyone tell me what's wrong with that? Bill Venables: Simple. Minitab
must be broken. Have you reported it to them?    -- Shan-Ho Chou and

I always auto-load 'fortunes' at the beginning of an R session (the
reason for the messed up output above), but I'm not sure this would
the cause for the fail. I am also unable to build 'RcppArmadillo'
0.2.29 if that matters, so I can only build against 0.2.25. All the
other deps installed fine. Below I post my R info.
