R help - Sep 2004 - findInterval in compiled code.

Hi all, 
I am writing some C code where I want to use the findInterval function
documented in "Writing R extensions/Utility functions". i.e. the
C-version not the R version.

It all compiles but the shared library is causing seg-faults and I'm
obviously stuffing something up. 

Has anyone got any examples of calling this function they'd be will to
share? I've searched through the source of quite a few libraries and
can't find any. 

Thanks 
Toby

(so, typically this should rather go to R-devel than R-help;
 but never mind for this time.)

probably

indeed, there aren't any in the CRAN packages.

If you don't get other feedback, do try to isolate the problem
into a very minimalistic example, and if the problem persists,
use R-devel 
and give the details {maybe a URL to download the package source} 
of your (minimalistic!) package setup.
Then, we can help you further.
