Am trying to install the R Rcpp package on Mac OS X El Capitan with a homebrew installation of R in an R console

Warning message:
In install.packages("Rcpp") :
installation of package ‘Rcpp’ had non-zero exit status
Tried searching for Rcpp.h with:
$locate Rcpp.h
/usr/local/lib/R/3.2/site-library/Rcpp/include/Rcpp.h
I could symlink to the R/3.2 directory, but that seems risky ?
Tried:
brew update; brew install Rcpp
Received:
Error: No available formula with the name "rcpp" ==> Searching for similarly named formulae... Error: No similarly named formulae found. ==> Searching taps... Error: No formulae found in taps.
