[Rd] call fortran in R

[Sebastien Durand]

Hi Paul,

In fact, I used the three points just hide the 
long and exhaustive serie of parameters.

>From what I understood of the error warnings, my 
serie of parameters didn't even had the chance to 
be properly read and shall not be the cause of 
what we are seeing.
Even so I change the function name in 
.Fortran("name",....), I get the same error 
message.  It is like if it couldn't find the 
library I have dynamically loaded using dyn.load.
And I don't understand why, or where shall I look to fix such issue.

By the way you spoke about R's registration 
tables, could you tell me where should I look to 
find such info?

Thanks.

Sébastien
