In general, queries pertaining to creating R packages should go to R-Devel, especially if it involves the use of C/C++/FORTRAN.
That being said, if your queries are "basic", please be sure to read through Writing R Extensions:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.pdf
and consider searching the list archives via:
http://www.rseek.org
as there is a reasonable chance that your query has already been posted and answered in the past.
If you have already done those things, then post to R-Devel, but please do subscribe first:
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
as it will save the R-Devel list moderators from having to manually approve each of your posts, therefore making your posting more expedient.
Thanks and regards,
