Cannot pass RInside as a reference

So, I've been trying to use RInside for an application, but I can not figure out this issue. I've read this question, and I think I'm doing the exact same thing: Passing RInside's 'R' instance as a parameter between classes/methods

But somehow it is not working, here is a sample of the code:

pair<Rcpp::NumericVector,int> kmedoids (RInside & R, vector<int> alerts) {

    R["M"] = alerts;

    string txt = "library(cluster);"
                 "result <- clara(M, 2);";

    R.parseEvalQ(txt);

    Rcpp::NumericVector result((SEXP) R.parseEval("res <- result$cluster"));
    Rcpp::NumericMatrix clusinfo1 ((SEXP) R.parseEval("clusinfo <- result$clusinfo"));

    int biggerCluster = getBiggerCluster(clusinfo1);

    pair <Rcpp::NumericVector,int> par;
    par.first = result;
    par.second = biggerCluster;

    return par;
}


RInside R(int argc, char *argv[]);
pair<Rcpp::NumericVector,int> srcIPKmedoid = kmedoids(R, srcIPAmounts);
pair<Rcpp::NumericVector,int> dstIPKmedoid = kmedoids(R, dstIPAmounts);
pair<Rcpp::NumericVector,int> attackClassKmedoid = kmedoids(R, attackClassAmounts);

The error I am getting :

/home/renato/workspace/tilera/oads/AM/src/AM.cpp:442:73: error: invalid initialization    of non-const reference of type ‘RInside&’ from an rvalue of type ‘RInside (*)(int, char**)’

I am doing exactly what Dirk's Qt example does, passing RInside as a reference, what am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

RInside R(int argc, char *argv[]); isn't an object - it's a function declaration. Try RInside R(argc, argv); instead.
