g++ ld can't find RInside symbols for x86_64 architecture

I get a linker error saying that symbol(s) cannot be found when I try to compile an RInside sample file with g++. Any assistance would be appreciated.

R version 2.13.1 is installed on Mac OS X 10.5. Rcpp and RInside include files have been copied to the usr/include directory. R headers and libraries have been included using the -I and -L modifiers of g++ as shown:

$g++ -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Headers -L/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Libraries rinside_sample0.cpp

The rinside_sample0.cpp file is a sample provided with the RInside package, shown below:

// -*- mode: C++; c-indent-level: 4; c-basic-offset: 4;  tab-width: 8; -*-
//
// Simple example showing how to do the standard 'hello, world' using embedded R
//

#include <RInside.h>                    // for the embedded R via RInside

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    RInside R(argc, argv);              // create an embedded R instance 

    R["txt"] = "Hello, world!\n";   // assign a char* (string) to 'txt'

    R.parseEvalQ("cat(txt)");           // eval the init string, ignoring any returns

    exit(0);
}

When I attempt to compile with g++ I get an error, shown below:

ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Solution

I know this is a very old question, but I am adding this in case it helps someone else.

I spent hours and hours looking into this. I have a Mac OS (Mountain Lion 10.7). I downloaded RInside, went over to examples and typed make but kept getting this ld error.

New installs of xcode, gcc as mentioned in this thread and numerous other attempts didn't help.

I already had Rcpp installed using RStudio.

However the following worked for me. From my Mac Terminal I re-installed Rcpp and RInside as Dirk suggests above using:

R CMD INSTALL ./Downloads/Rcpp_0.10.3.tar.gz 
R CMD INSTALL ./Downloads/RInside_0.2.10.tar.gz

Now, when I went to the examples directory and typed make, it worked without a hitch.

Hope this helps someone using OS X, who comes looking at this question.
