[Rcpp-devel] installing Rcpp on windows

Hello,

I'm trying to get Rcpp to work on my machine running Windows 7 64 bit but
I'm not having much luck!

I've reinstalled R in: C:\opt\R-2.13.1
and have: C:\Rtools\MinGW64
my path variables are set as:
C:\Rtools\bin;C:\Rtools\perl\bin;C:\Rtools\MinGW64\bin;C:\opt\R-2.13.1\bin\x64;C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\bin;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%MAVEN_HOME%\bin

Trying some examples from the help pdf I get the following error, can anyone
help?
+ Rcpp::NumericVectorxa(a);
+ Rcpp::NumericVectorxb(b);
+ intn_xa=xa.size(),n_xb=xb.size();
+
+ Rcpp::NumericVectorxab(n_xa+n_xb-1);
+ for(inti=0;i<n_xa;i++)
+     for(intj=0;j<n_xb;j++)
+         xab[i+j]+=xa[i]*xb[j];
+ returnxab;

You are lacking critical spaces:

  Rcpp::NumericVector xa(a);
  Rcpp::NumericVector xb(b);

Rcpp::NumericVector is the type, xa is the variable of that type and a is the
SEXP used to init it.

The error was quite clear: unknown type.

Maybe trying the examples in the examples/ directory is easier as you may
avoid copy and paste errors?
