R help - Apr 2014 - Forecast Package in R version 3.1.0

Dear R community, hello,

Hope everybody is doing great. I just downloaded R version 3.1.0, and,
whenever I try to load the forecast package, the following error message
appears:

Error in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]])
:
  there is no package called ‘Rcpp’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘forecast’

Does anybody knows or have an idea of what could be happeing with this new
version of R?

Best regards,

Paul

Just what it says: the forecast package depends on the Rcpp package, but 
you don't have Rcpp installed. Install it and this error should go away.
