Hi Paul,

to do this is extem stupid but here is an example that work:

f = Compile[{{x, _Real, 1}}, 
    Module[{i, l = x}, i = Round[2.3]; l[[i]]++; Return[l]]]

x = Table[i, {i, 4}];
f[x]
{1., 3., 3., 4.}


a) you need a l-value to make a assigment like x[[i]]. 
  But x gets evaluated to a list and {1,2,4,5}[[i]] can't be assigned.
  A normal Mathematica function should have the
  attribute HoldFirst ..
b) compile assume the type form the first assigment i. e.

f = Compile[{{x, _Real, 1}}, 
    Module[{i = 0.1, l = x}, i = Round[2.3]; l[[i]]++; Return[l]]]

will generate an error 

f = Compile[{{x, _Real, 1}}, 
    Module[{i = 1, l = x}, i = Round[2.3]; l[[i]]++; Return[l]]]

works.

Hope that helps.
