[Rd] R CMD check error

[Therneau, Terry M., Ph.D.]

Martyn,
   No, that didn't work.
   One other thing in the mix (which I don't think is the issue) is that I call one of the 
C-entry points of expm.  So the DESCRIPTION file imports expm, the NAMESPACE file imports 
expm, and the init.c file is

#include "R.h"
#include "R_ext/Rdynload.h"

/* Interface to expm package. */
typedef enum {Ward_2, Ward_1, Ward_buggy_octave} precond_type;
void (*expm)(double *x, int n, double *z, precond_type precond_kind);
void R_init_hmm(DllInfo *dll)
{
     expm = (void (*)) R_GetCCallable("expm", "expm");
}

I don't expect that this is the problem since I stole the above almost verbatim from the 
msm package.
