and if you use the following instead of "Rinternals.h"?
extern "C" {
#include <Rdefines.h>
}

'Course I'm assuming you read that part in the 'R-exts.pdf'
about using C++ iostreams with R being best avoided? If you
really need to do so anyway, I'll give you a link to my iostream
manipulator source that interfaces with the R console. It handles
the scenario described in section 4.6 of above document but
requires the GNU C++ compiler (g++) in order to work though.
