I could have looked at the for the rest of the weekend and I doubt
that the idea that it was code I had to compile myself would never had
entered my mind.

Thanks! It was in portage. dev-lib\quantlib is installed and now
RQuantLib installs fine.

Going one step further, I guess if I wanted to use RQuantLib in
Windows then the same issues apply and I'd have to figure out how to
run the R toolchain to make it work?

Thanks,
