[R-sig-ME] errors compiling minqa during lme4 install

[Dan McCloy]

I tried to install lme4 on a new laptop today, and got the following
error during the installation of the dependency "minqa":

-L/home/dan/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0/Rcpp/lib: No such file
or directory
make: *** [minqa.so] Error 1
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘minqa’

I checked, and Rcpp is installed (version 0.10.5), and the folder in
question does exist, and contains two files: libRcpp.a and libRcpp.so

Any suggestions / advice?  Either my google skills are terrible, or
nobody else is having this problem.
