[R] help needed: taking a function out of a package and it can not find some funtions

[Katharine Mullen]

bw.SJ calls C code from the file
/usr/local/bin/R-2.6.0/src/library/stats/src/bandwidths.c
You have to make this code available.

You can do the following:
1. copy bandwidths.c and the definition of bw.SJ (the latter renamed) to a
directory
2. compile bandwidths.c into a shared library with the command
R CMD SHLIB bandwidths.c (see the manual writing R extensions for details)
3. in your definition of bw.SJ, in the 3 places .C is
called, remove "R_" from the first argument and quote it; e.g.,
C(R_band_phi4_bin, ..." becomes "C("band_phi4_bin","
4. in R, load the shared library you built with the dyn.load function; now
your definition of the (renamed) function bw.SJ can be modified as you
like.
