there is no such thing as an "R lib".
Do you mean "R package"?
In any case, not it is not (yet).
As David clearly says (a few lines below), it is a 'f90'
library; which means it's "fortran 90" source code that you can
compile and then use.
I've tried with gfortran (the latest avaiable on debian amd64
sid) and it quickly ended in a compiler (!) error.

Netlib has all the TOMS (= Transactions Of Mathematical Software)
algorithms. Look for '814'.
