[R] LAPACK in R

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

You can't do this.  Some of LAPACK is included in the lapack module, but
that is not a part of R that is always loaded, and the code has been
corrected.

Similarly you cannot easily use compiled code in another package.

What's so hard about linking your own code against your system's lapack
library?
