is much that I need to learn, so I have a question that might be 
straight forward. I am learning how to use function in the C library GSL 
(gnu scientific library), to write C code, that I then plant to use in 
R. Is there any problem in doing this? I mean, using functions of GSL to 
write C funtions to then use them in R? I just want to make sure that 
this approach is correct, before I invest more time trying to figure out 
how to include GSL functions into my C functions. Any commentaries, 
insights or advice will be highly appreciated.

It may or may not be relevant to your query,
but there is a GSL wrapper package available
on CRAN which might be instructive or even
used directly for your purposes.
