[Rcpp-devel] package build error on r-forge linking to RcppArmadillo

See some previous discussion of this which I raised.

Essentially, Rcpp has been updated and this requires RcppArmadillo to
be re-installed.  I don't think RcppArmadillo has been updated per se,
and this is why nothing has triggered a re-install.

So either R-forge re-installs RcppArmadillo, which I don't know if you
could get them to, or you wait until RcppArmdillo is updated (thereby
triggering a reinstall). There is nothing you can do apart from
appealing to the powers that be.

Hello,

My rugarch package on r-forge which links to Rcpp/RcppArmadillo has in the
last 2 check cycles failed with the following errors:

I've been unable to replicate the problem locally on either windows or
Ubuntu x64 machines with R version 2.15.2 Patched (2012-12-04 r61215), and
the latest Rcpp/RcppArmadillo versions from r-forge. I've not made
any changes to the source code either.
gcc/g++ are 4.6.3 20111208 (from latest R-tools for the windows machine).

Any ideas/help much appreciated.

Thanks for your time (and the excellent Rcpp* packages).

Regards,
