Rcpp has dependended on R (>= 2.12) for quite some time, and Module
definitely requires it.

How did you get Rcpp installed on that version of R, and what version of
Rcpp
is it?

Something like the example you show here is part of the unit tests and
clearly works with current R and Rcpp versions.  Can you get hold of a
newer
R somewhere to try it?
