Compiling Rinside with g++ in Mac OS X 10.9

Question

I wish to compile Rinside in Mac OS X 10.9. I have Xcode 5.

I've downloaded the latest version of Rcpp and RInside (2014) and when I wanted to install them with the following commands:

sudo R CMD INSTALL ~/Downloads/Rcpp_0.11.0.tar.gz

I received the following Error:

• installing to library ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library’
• installing source package ‘Rcpp’ ... ** libs llvm-g++-4.2 -arch x86_64 -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -DNDEBUG -I../inst/include/ -I/usr/local/include -fPIC -mtune=core2 -g -O2 -c Date.cpp -o Date.o make: llvm-g++-4.2: No such file or directory make: * [Date.o] Error 1 ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘Rcpp’
• removing ‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/Rcpp’

I appreciate any comments.

For an illustrative example of how to get Xcode to compile RInside code, see https://youtu.be/sjiSaaNA8BY

You have to install R first. Launch R and install.package "Rcpp" and "RInstall" (from R). The video describes the steps needed to compile rinside_sample3.cpp from examples/standard folder in the zip file at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RInside/index.html.
