What does this mean in lme4: function 'dataptr

问题:

I'm trying to do LMM using lme4, and this message pops up:

Error in initializePtr() : function 'dataptr' not provided by package 'Rcpp'

What should I do?

回答1:

After a while, I got it.

1) Reinstall the latest version of Rcpp is the solution.

2) If you are not using lme4, but you also have this problem ("function 'dataptr' not provided by package 'Rcpp'") in combination with dyn.load(), it might be worth noting do not forget to include

library(Rcpp)

or

require(Rcpp)

on your code before

dyn.load("your_shared_lib.so")
