Rcpp‘s version is 0.9.13

I tried:
R CMD SHLIB -lRgoogleMaps rtest.cpp

It resulted in:

    Why would you want to do this? Rcpp is designed for interfacing C++ code within an R session so that you can exploit faster computation or re-use existing C++ libraries.

    Write an R wrapper that calls the Rcpp code, have that wrapper arrange for the package to be made available (using require(RgoogleMaps)).

    Second, you don’t want to hard code the plotting device. Again, you could do this in R:

    png(filename="Rg.png", width=480, height=480)
##
## call Rcpp function
## in here
dev.off()

    Rcpp isn’t meant for writing standalone C++ applications, you still want to interact with it from an R session.
