Try to look inside the installed package RInside and to fine the directory
examples/ -- it contains a directory standard/ with nine example files
rinside_sample[0-8] plus two further tests (and another directory mpi/ which
we ignore for now)

On a correctly setup computer, building the examples programs in the
directory examples/standard is as easy as saying

   make -f Makefile.win	       	# you need to point make to the Windows makefile

which builds all executables (on my windows box at work).  No editing required.

This is getting off-topic for r-help as you are asked by the posting guide to
contact package authors (ie Romain or me). We usually suggest to take these
RInside discussions to the rcpp-devel list --- see the R-Forge pages for Rcpp.
