[R-pkg-devel] DLL requires the use of native symbols

[Guido Kraemer]

I am the maintainer of coRanking and got a message about an error, the 
error can be found here [1]. I can reproduce the error on my own machine 
with the latest R-devel but don't quite understand what the error means 
and how I can fix it. A search leads to an issue in Rcpp [2] where the 
characters in .Call are replaced by  symbols (apostrophe to backtick). 
When I do this, I get an error when building the vignette:

 > NULL value passed as symbol address

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix the error?

Best

Guido
