[R] problem installing quadprog

[john_heumann@agilent.com]

When I try to build/install the quadprog package under R1.50 and NT4
it seems to have trouble finding blas routines. I'm currently using the
generic blas routines, rather than ATLAS or some other tuned implementation:

   > Rcmd INSTALL d:/temp/quadrprog
   ...
   gcc  --shared -s  -o quadprog.dll quadprog.def quadprog.a quadprog_res.o  -Lc:/a
   pps/rw1050/src/gnuwin32  -lg2c -lR
   quadprog.a(util.o)(.text+0x84):util.f: undefined reference to `dscal_'
   quadprog.a(util.o)(.text+0xfa):util.f: undefined reference to `daxpy_'
   quadprog.a(util.o)(.text+0x188):util.f: undefined reference to `ddot_'
   quadprog.a(util.o)(.text+0x21f):util.f: undefined reference to `daxpy_'
   make[2]: *** [quadprog.dll] Error 1

rBlas.dll is present in <RHOME>/bin, but note that there is no "-L" directive
for that directory. If I add it, the installation completes correctly.

Is there something wrong with my installation, or has the <RHOME>/bin
directory accidentally been left off the library search path?

What's the easiest way for me to fix this, so I don't encounter the same 
problem when building other packages? (BTW, this is the first optional 
package I've had trouble with. Everything else has built/installed correctly).

Thanks in advance,
