[mikejiang]

looks like there was an upgrade from RcppArmadillo
https://github.com/RcppCore/RcppArmadillo/blob/master/ChangeLog which might be the cause.
Given bioconductor still has the previous version 0.12.0.1.0, the quick work around for you is to downgrade RcppArmadillo.
In the meantime, I will be working on the patch for the latest RcppArmadillo
