[Rcpp-devel] Best way to create random normal matrix

Julian,

Your prorgam was actually fine as such, but you "used" it wrong -- what
comes
back from cxxfunction() is already an R function, see below.

If you use the R RNGs (which is easy from Rcpp) your results are
reproducible
with R.  That is all documented so I won't repeat it here.
