Dear fellow R users,
I am now investing time in learning how to use compiled C code to
produces functions that can be used in R. I am just starting, and there
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.
per the posting guide ("Do Your Homework" section), you should do this:
RSiteSearch("GSL")
If you are considering doing something that might be submitted to
BioConductor, you should read up on what they require:
http://wiki.fhcrc.org/bioc/Package_Guidelines
IIRC, they tend to discourage the use of external libraries.
The R API is rich with functions that provide a lot of what GSL has, so
you might want to study that before committing to GSL.
HTH,
Chuck
