Installation errors

[daniel-spies]

Dear cacoa team,

I had issues installing your packages simply stating that the R_HOME environment variable is ignored and then the that there was no such path or directory.

the underlying cause is that from Rcpp 0.11.0 onwars the Rcpp:::LdFlags() only returns an empty string, so this has to be removed from the Makefile in order to install your package on newer versions.

Hi @daniel-spies

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, we're trying to put the package on CRAN. I think @rrydbirk is championing this at the moment, as we're essential there.

Once that's done, installation problems will be resolved. Thanks for the patience.
