R-beta: linking c++ functions

[Kung-Sik Chan]

I am running R under Linux 2.0.28, with R installed following the
instructions that come with the R package, that is, using configure,
make and make install-help. I have only changed the config.site with
FC= option so to enable automatic detection of F77. I have no problems 
linking some of the contributed libraries to R. It seems that the
current problem might be specific to C++ functions.
