Is there a way for me to get the source code ( C/C++ or FORTRAN) for a specific R package ?
The source to contributed packages is in <CRAN
mirror>/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html. You can find your CRAN mirror by looking
at the CRAN entry in options("repos"). (You may need to call
chooseCRANmirror() first, if it hasn't already been called.)
And in 2.1.0 you can retrieve the source by e.g.
download.packages("AMORE", type="source", destdir="/tmp")
on any platform (MacOS X not tested).
