Hi All, I have already used gcc to creat a library, for example, it is called "test.a", which includes many c objects. How to link my main "a.c" function to this library when I used Rcmd SHLIB to complier my main c program? I tried "Rcmd SHLIB a.c test.a". It does not work this way. Does anyone have idea about this? Thanks, Xiaoping

I have a probably basic problem concerning the R language. I will write some small R programs but don't really know how to start. Do I have to create my files in some editor like emacs or can I write my code in the R prompt? How to compile the code? I haven't found any good manual parts about this subject. regards A.P
