| 
| I also have few queries
|  
| 1. Can  Rinside 0.2.3 be used in any specific version of C++ comiler?
| 2. Can I use Rinside in Visual Studio 8.0 ? . VS 8.0 is a .Net environment.
| 3. Do i have to do any specific compiler setting to compile RInside in my
| code?

You overlooked this under 'Status' on the main RInside web page:

  Status

  Version 0.2.3 should build and install on just about any Linux and OS X
  system, and even on Windows machines that have the Rtools compiled by
  Duncan Murdoch as detailed in the The Windows Toolset appendix to the R
  Installation manual. *Do not* report an error if you fail to build this
  with another compiler as this is *not supported*. 

So we were pretty explicit in telling you this would not work.  And there is
also question 2.8 of the Rcpp FAQ, here is a copy&paste from the Rcpp-FAQ.pdf:

  2.8  Can I use Rcpp with Visual Studio
  
  Not a chance.

     And that is not because we are meanies but because R and Visual Studio
  simply do not get along. As Rcpp is all about extending R with C++
  interfaces, we are bound by the available toolchain. And R simply does not
  compile with Visual Studio. Go complain to its vendor if you are still
  upset.

Hope his helps.
