Subject: Using R as Shared Library
Hi List,
I find the following .so file in the R folder of my Arch Linux machine:
,----------------------
| usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so
`----------------------
I copied it to my home folder and changed permissons from root to my
personal user and then tried to call R functions from a different
language (that has a 'native' function to call any kind of Shared
Library on Linux).
But to no avail - no matter if I try to call 'help' or 'imax2', I'm
always told the function doesn't exist.
So my question is basically: whats in there in the libR.so?
Can't I call all core R functions (via 'native') with the same arguments
as on the R command line? I'm a bit confused now about how to use R as a
shared library on Linux.
Thanks for any tips.
