[[e-mail]: Re: RQuantLib_0.1.0 in incoming]

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Sorry to pester all of you with this, but it looks as if I have some egg
on my face. The package doesn't seem to compile on the R CRAN archive
maintainer's machine ... with the exact same Debian setup as mine. The one
difference I can think of is that I do not export -pedantic and -Wall.

Could that make the difference?  If so, could you make it work :->  ?
