R devel - Dec 2004 - C access to R libraries

Hi all,
I'm used to code in C and I'm wondering if access to internal R compiled
libraries with C is an easy job under linux. Is anyone has experience 
with that ?
Some headers seems rather clear and interesting, but binding may not be 
so easy....
Actually, my question is: will I have to manipulate complex R objects in 
C to access to raw statistic functions ?

Thanks for your experience.
Regards,
++
Jul.

No, a lot of the functionality doesn't need R objects.  See the "R API
chapter" in the "Writing R Extensions" manual.  I've had no
experience
with using it in Linux, but I think it's pretty straightforward.
