I am a relative newcomer to both the R and C/C++ software worlds -- I'm taking a C Programming class currently. I noticed the other day that the C:\Program Files\R1_8_1\src\include\R_ext directory on my WinXP box has the header files BLAS.h Lapack.h Linpack.h RLapack.h I am interested in (perhaps) using one or more of these header files in a straight C program I'm working on in Visual C++ .NET. (I need matrix inversion, svd, generalized inverse, Cholesky decomposition, and a few other matrix features for a class project and this is the first time I've ever worked with header files.) My attempts to get the freely available CLAPACK3-Windows.zip on http://www.netlib.org/clapack/ to work have failed miserably, hence my interest in finding other freely available libraries! Does anyone know how dependent these R header files are on one another? Are they redundant in any way? Which ones would be recommended? Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated, Greg
