[R] Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo in Spatstat

[Kevin C Packard]

I'm testing some different formulations of pairwise interaction point processes
in Spatstat (version 1.11-6) using R 2.5.0 on a Windows platform and I wish to
simulate them using the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm implemented with Spatstat.
Spatstat utilizes Fortran77 code with the preprocessor RatFor to do the
Metropolis-Hastings MCMC, but the Makefile is more complicated than any I have
worked with.
Any suggestions on how I could get started working with the Fortran code in
conjunction with RatFor is appreciated.

Sincerely,
Kevin
