Yes, sure -- we wrote (and use) a package RcppArmadillo that provides very
easy access to Armadillo via Rcpp.

| #include <armadillo>

| inline arma::vec foo(input) {

| 	
| 	return an arma::vec object 
| }
| 
| compiling this via R CMD INSTALL packagename (PKG_CXXFLAGS = -I/folder/of/armadillo and armadillo_bits in my package)
| 
| I get the following error 
| 
| "error: expected initializer before 'foo' "
| 
| The exact line and word is where inline arma::vec ends.

We do. I would like to invite to subscribe to the rcpp-devel list, to peruse
its list archives, to study the RcppArmadillo examples (which cover all this)
and, if you still have questions, pose a small reproducible example on the
rcpp-devel list.

Also, we recently opened the "Rcpp Gallery" (http://gallery.rcpp.org) which
has a set of RcppArmadillo related posts you can read via the tags

Hope this helps,  Dirk
