R devel - May 2006 - R Regression Routines called in C/C++

I would like to call the R regression routines in C/C++. I have seen that
it is possible to call distribution function, optimisation routines etc,
but is it possible to call a simple OLS and which is the relevant header
file?

Thanks.

Regression is done in Fortran and is not part of the standalone nmath (nor 
are the optimization routines).  If you meant from C/C++ code in an R 
package, take a look at e.g. lqs in MASS which does this via the routines 
declared in R_ext/Applic.h.  Similar routines are called by lm.fit.
