[R] again question about nmath/standalone

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Maggie,

Are you sure you actually _have_ a library libRmath available to your
linker?  

Below is a full log of how this works on any given Debian system for which
we provide the library in a package r-mathlib. Once that is installed, you
should be set.

Hth, Dirk
