You are on a 64-bit architecture and the C interface is declared as
void mapthin(x, y, n, delta, symmetric)
double *x, *y, *delta;
long *n, *symmetric;
R's integer type is int, not long, but they are the same on a 32-bit
platform.
I am pretty sure that changing long to int will fix this.
There are a few other quirks, and I would check some of the other uses of
`long' in the C sources.
