[R-SIG-Mac] Request for guidance on compiling C++ using RInside within Xcode 5, OSX 10.9.4, R 3.1.1 (mavericks version)

It is a user error as pointed out by this answer

     http://stackoverflow.com/a/17054405/143305

The OP adds the   Rcpp/include/Rcpp   directory on top of already having
Rcpp/include (which eg our Makefiles do).

It simply is a case of a wrong and overzealous local configuration coupled
with the case-insensitivity of the HFS file system.

No Rcpp or RInside issue here.

| You'll have to ask the author of this thread (it's a bit cryptic - and/or check out the SO post), but as I understand it something is adding -I...Rcpp to CPPFLAGS which is bad and not needed since the proper include is #include <Rcpp/String.h> which is fine. I don't know who/what is adding the internal Rcpp directory to the include path.
