Others have told you how to solve this problem, so I will assume that's 
done, and just offer some advice for future problems:  Don't be vague 
about what you did to trigger the error message, cut and paste the exact 
code or describe the exact circumstances that led to it.  I can say with 
some certainty that you wouldn't get the message above from "downloading 
the Rcpp package", but if you had posted the code that you used, I could 
probably have told you what you were doing wrong.
