  Kjetil,
  I have no much time to test this. But, (under Linux) I went to the 
  R-0.63.3/src/appl directory (where Linpack code lives) and then did a
  > grep dgesl *.f
  No 'dgesl' was found . Hence, my hypothesis is that 'dgesl' 
  is listed in Linpack.h but not included in R. 
  Under Windows, to understand if this is true, you should go to the 
  gnuwin32 directory and then do something like
  > grep dgesl R.exp
or, better,
  > nm libR.a | grep dgesl
  [R.exp lists the symbols exported by R.dll, libR.a is the 'import
   library' for R.dll]
  If no dgesl is shown, I suspect that you have to
  download Linpack and add the files defining dgesl and the other
  function to the package source.

  (ps) Problem is not in the underscore, I think. The underscore
  is appended by the g77 compiler, but the F77_SYMBOL declaration
  in Linpack.h is there to cope with it.
