[Rcpp-devel] Ancient Rcpp for OS X on CRAN [Was: Building/linking trouble with cxxfunction()]

Ken,

Could you test the 0.9.1 tarball?  Then in
inst/unitTests/runit.Module.client.package.R, apply the diff below:

  -- ie add the new .badOSX function (maybe I'll rename it 'oldOSX')

  -- change the test to add a   && ! .badOSX()   

so that the test that barfs under g++ 4.2.1 is not getting run.

If that passes everything, yet failed before, we would have ourselves a new
version which may things better.

Dirk

| That's probably the right way to do it, as Simon suggested too in the
| meantime.
