Error in dyn.load(dllfile) : unable to load shared object | Expected in: flat namespace

问题

I am new to R package development. I am developing a package (bartpkg) that has in its src/ folder one (prime) cpp file and some helper cpp (X.Cpp, Y.Cpp) and one c file (Z.C) and their header files (X.h, Y.h and Z.h)

I am getting the following error when I do 'Build & Reload' in Rstudio.

Error in dyn.load(dllfile) :
  unable to load shared object '/Users/abcd/BART/bart_pkg1/src/bartpkg.so':
  dlopen(/Users/abcd/BART/bart_pkg1/src/bartpkg.so, 6): Symbol not found: __ZN3RNG4nfixElm
  Referenced from: /Users/abcd/BART/bart_pkg1/src/bartpkg.so
  Expected in: flat namespace
 in /Users/abcd/BART/bart_pkg1/src/bartpkg.so
Calls: suppressPackageStartupMessages ... <Anonymous> -> load_all -> load_dll -> library.dynam2 -> dyn.load
Execution halted

Exited with status 1.

I have followed the basic guidelines to build the package.

The .R file has directive #' @useDynLib bartpkg in the right place.

Also, the prime cpp file has the following tags in the right place.

#include <Rcpp.h>
using namespace Rcpp;
//' @param x A single integer.
//' @export
// [[Rcpp::export]]

And my NAMESPACE file shows useDynLib(bartpkg) correctly.

I am able to see the bartpkg.so shared object file in the src/ directory.

I tried in the terminal this command c++filt -n _ZN3RNG4nfixElm and was able to see that the symbol in the error

Symbol not found: __ZN3RNG4nfixElm' is coming from the .C file RNG.C and is because of a function 'nfix'.

But even if I remove the function 'nfix' or remove the RNG.C file altogether, the same error:

Symbol not found: __ZN3RNG4nfixElm

can it be a flag issue that my compiler is not able to compile the 'C' file? I am able to see that all the cpp files generate respective object files, but I dont see anything like that for the C file.

I have a Makevars in the src/ directory just having one line

PKG_LIBS = `$(R_HOME)/bin/Rscript -e "Rcpp:::LdFlags()"`

which I basically just copied from another package, more because my understanding with Rcpp and the which flags to work with is really less.

I am using RStudio is the session info is

I am stuck at this problem for weeks now. Trying to read the 'Writing the R extension' page and not able to figure this out. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.
