Unsurprisingly - you can't set R_NO_REMAP for everything since you don't want to set it for the engine itself. What I meant is that I would simply add
#define R_NO_REMAP
before you include any R header or (if you don't use any R headers directly) before
#include "REngine.h"

I'm trying to use embedded R (REngine). In my own code I call the NSString
class method '+stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error:'. Unfortunately, I
can't because the embedded R that I include using '#import "Rengine.h"'
redefines 'error' and the compiler is unable to recognize the NSString
class method.

How can this dilemma be solved?

I strongly prefer using R_NO_REMAP since there are a lot of "gotchas" when using shortened R names including the "error" one.
