[Rd] R-extension in unix system -- help to locate header files

[Kyeongmi Cheon]

Thank you for your reply. I'm really new to this unix system and let me ask
one more 
time to make sure if I understand it right.

So I do it this way?
1. Change my codes to like below:
 #include <stdlib.h> 
 #include <R.h> 
 #include <Rdefines.h> 
 #include <Rmath.h> 
 #include <R_ext/Applic.h> 
 #include <R_ext/PrtUtil.h> 

2. and at the command line,
set path = (/gpfs/data/local/linux/R-2.6.2/lib64/R/include $path) 
set path = (/gpfs/data/local/linux/R-2.6.2/lib64/R/include/R_ext $path) 

Then what is about -I flags? I googled it but couldn't find anything. I
don't really 
know what you meant by "The search paths ....  supplemented by -I flags on
the command 
line". How do I use it? Like this?
set path = (/gpfs/data/local/linux/R-2.6.2/lib64/R/include $path) -I


Thank you so much.

................

You should never give full paths in #include statements.

The search paths for include ('header') files are set by the compiler and 
supplemented by -I flags on the command line.  If your C compiler is 
unable to find <stdlib.h> something is badly wrong, and you need to ask 
your 'unix' advisor for help.  (BTW, these header files are OS-specific, 
and some of them will be compiler-specific -- on my Solaris Unix box cc 
and gcc use different versions of some of these headers.)
