[R-SIG-Mac] Directing output to R.app GUI from compiled C code

[Michael Braun]

I am a recent convert from Linux to Mac (OS X 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro),  
and  am trying to direct some output from  compiled C code to the  
R.app GUI.  For simple things, of course, I use Rprintf from the R  
API.  But there are other cases (e.g., using the matrix print routines  
in GSL) for which Rprintf is inappropriate.  When I was in Linux-land,  
I could direct the output to stdout with no problem (and I can still  
do that running R from a terminal window on OS X).  But if I run my  
app under R.app, the output never makes it to the screen (naturally,  
because R.app is not standard output).

So, is there an output file that I can use in place of stdout that  
will get my output to the R.app GUI (and preferably, to a terminal  
window session as well)?

Thanks!

Michael
