[R] dyn.load problem

[Joerg Kindermann]

Hi,

I'm trying to write modified versions of R save/load functions which read
from/write to a char array instead of a file pointer. I want to compile
my functions into a library and dyn.load them. Of course the new functions
mySave/Load will use some of the internal R functions used by save/load,
for example  "MarkSave" (to be found in .../src/main/saveload.c). I
declared them as

external  void MarkSave(SEXP s);
....

in my code. When I do dyn.load("myLib.so") I get the error

Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)): unable to load shared
 library "myLib.so":
  myLib.so: undefined symbol: MarkSave

Can't I use R internals other than those visible in $R_HOME/include?


Thanks for some clarifying hints
