Hi Erin,
If you are working from a binary install of R, you won't able to see the
sources for C or FORTRAN based functions.
If it is a base package in the '../library' tree like 'stats',
in the source tarball from CRAN or in the R SVN repo, there will be a
'src' directory for the package where relevant C and/or FORTRAN code
will be contained.
As an example for arima.c, in the SVN repo for the 3.0 branch tree:
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-3-0-branch/src/library/stats/src/arima.c
For R-Devel, it will be in 'trunk':
https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/stats/src/arima.c
Scroll down or search in the arima.c source for the function name
"ARIMA_Like".
If you know something about SVN repo trees, the path will make sense.
Other common C and/or FORTRAN code that is not part of the base packages may be
in the ../src/main directory:
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-3-0-branch/src/main/
and there is a file 'names.c' that can be helpful in locating specific C
functions and their associated declared C names.
For Recommended packages, there is also a separate SVN repo at:
https://svn.r-project.org/R-packages/
but it may be easier to download the tarball for each package from CRAN.
