cannot compile rinside with armadillo examples

Question

I am trying to compile the Rarmadillo example with Rinside and I keep getting: ``` In file included from rinside_arma0.cpp:8:0: /usr/local64/opt/R-2.15.2/lib/R/library/RcppArmadillo/include/RcppArmadillo.h:26:6: error: #error "The file 'Rcpp.h' should not be included. Please correct to include only 'RcppArmadillo.h'." ``` I googled it but I keep getting the source code per se. Any ideas ? The code is : ``` // -*- c-indent-level: 4; c-basic-offset: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; -*- // // Simple example using Armadillo classes // // Copyright (C) 2012 Dirk Eddelbuettel and Romain Francois #include // for the embedded R via RInside #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { RInside R(argc, argv); // create an embedded R instance std::string cmd = "diag(3)"; // create a Matrix in r arma::mat m = Rcpp::as(R.parseEval(cmd)); // parse, eval + return result std::cout << m << std::endl; // and use Armadillo i/o exit(0); } ``` and compiled it using: ``` g++…

Accepted Answer

The error you get is because `Rcpp.h` is included before `RcppArmadillo.h`, `Rcpp.h` is included by `RInside.h`. For the magic that `RcppArmadillo` gives you, the file `RcppArmadillo.h` needs to be loaded before `Rcpp.h`. So I suggest you do this: ``` #include #include ```
