[Rcpp-devel] Unable to install RcppArmadillo from CRAN or from SVN archive on Ubuntu 10.10

OK, this is bizarre. ?I am able to install the RcppArmadillo package
on my current setup provided that I turn on optimization in the call
to g++ to compile RcppArmadillo.cpp. ?The only difference between the
following two calls is the -O3 flag. ?(I haven't tried other levels of
optimization yet but presumably it would work with -O and -O2).
Compare the following

Yes, well, this still does not explain why Doug gets the same error
on Ubuntu.

So it may be the LLVM g++ compiler (note that this is
a developer version which has not been released yet,
comes with Xcode 4.1) or an unfortunate interaction
of that compiler with libraries in /usr/local.

I suggest filing a bug with Apple. ?The LLVM compiler is rather fresh,
and it appears that it's still not ready for production use.

Perhaps Apple is doing an elaborate public beta test with this
developer version. ?If so, one has to wonder whether Apple internally
lacks sufficiently varied test cases.
