[R] Fortran code

[Dave Roberts]

Sotiris,

    R is generally fairly graceful about FORTRAN in linux; Windows is 
another matter.  For example, R/linux will allow you to write to the R 
console as a file device without using the special I/O routines often 
needed in R.  There are many very complicated FORTRAN routines currently 
running in libraries where you don't know you're running FORTRAN.

    Does your code compile successfully to a shared object?

R CMD SHLIB *.f

    If so, does it fail when you try to dyn.load?  Or does it fail at 
run time when you invoke the function?  If the last step is the problem, 
make very sure that you cast your R variables explicitly in your 
.Fortran call to make sure that the variable sizes in memory are correct.

    Please give us much more complete information about the error or we 
will be unable to help.

Dave R.
