Answer 1

You should specify the path of header file when compiling RInside with g++. There is a parameters list of g++ on Mac OS X (10.14.2 Mojave) for your reference, hope this help.

g++ 
-I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/RInside/include \
-I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/Rcpp/include \
-I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/include \
-L/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/lib \
-L/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/RInside/lib \
-lR -lRInside -O3 -o test helloworld_rinside.cpp
