fOptions no longer builds: Fortran error

[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

Christophe,

Would you be able to help in this Fortran-related build failure for fOptions?
The compiler now complains that LowDiscrepancy has conflicting types, and
with my limited Fortran skills I see no fix -- the declarations seem fine to
me.

The URL below has more detail, and I'd be happy to fill in more details.

Thanks,  Dirk
