[R-SIG-Mac] trouble installing RccpOcatve

[C W]

Hi,

I am trying install the RcppOctave package to run Matlab packages in R.  I
did the following,

> install.packages("RcppOctave")

After some time of installation, I get the following error.  I have
homebrew installed, I also have Octave and Matlab install.

installing the source package ‘RcppOctave’
