install of package Rcpp fails

[akolts]

I am not able to install Rcpp package in FastR. Rcpp package installs without issues on R 3.1 (included in distro) and R 3.3 (from cran3 builds).
Is there any solution or work around?
Thank you.

unfortunately FastR is not quite ready to run Rcpp, because this package requires a very large degree of completeness in the native interface.
sorry that we've wasted your time on this - we hope to have a website soon that will show which packages do and which do not work on FastR.

that being said, if you were thinking about implementing something in C++ because of performance concerns, you should give it a try in pure R: FastR is executing R code much, much faster than GNUR.

For my use case FastR seems to be the best option. Essentially I need to run R code that uses a few functions from plyr which depends on Rcpp. I think with some modifications to plyr I might be able to make it work without Rcpp.
Thanks for quick response and clarification.
