  I get the same problem.  I certainly can't guarantee the results, but
reverting to release 1083

  svn update -r1083

  at least appears to allow the package to build/install (it doesn't
quite make it through the examples in R CMD check -- it actually looks
like the failure may be somewhere in lattice ... ?)

  It may be that one needs a bleeding-edge Rcpp to compile the latest
version ... I'm trying upgrading to Rcpp 0.8.8.1 now ...

  cheers
