R help - Dec 2013 - Unable to install RcppEigen package due to Rcpp dependency issues

Hi folks.

I am trying to install RcppEigen, which depends on Rcpp. Here's what the
terminal says:
> install.packages("RcppEigen")
Installing package into ‘/home/rewarp/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0’

Warning message:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to install the required libraries.  It looks like you may be
on Debian or Ubuntu so try

   $ sudo apt-get install r-base-dev

which should pull these in.

Support for Rcpp and friends is provided on the rcpp-devel list.
