This is odd since the LAPACK subroutine dgemv takes only 11 parameters.
However, in include/R_ext/BLAS.h we have

F77_NAME(dgemv)(const char *trans, const int *m, const int *n,
        const double *alpha, const double *a, const int *lda,
        const double *x, const int *incx, const double *beta,
        double *y, const int *incy FCLEN);

with a 12th parameter FCLEN?? How am I supposed to fix this, and what
the ... is FCLEN? googling leads to nothing useful (for me). It seems as
if R is redefining some standard LAPACK routines.

Also a note I do not understand (in this context):

note: type ‘void’ should match type ‘long int’

Any help is much appreciated.


Sounds likely to be related to this item from R-devel NEWS:

http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-devel/2019/08/29#n2019-08-29

"   Header ‘Rconfig.h’ contains the value of ‘FC_LEN_T’ deduced at installation which is used by the prototypes in headers ‘R_ext/BLAS.h’ and ‘R_ext/Lapack.h’ but to avoid extensive breakage this is only exposed when ‘USE_FC_LEN_T’ is defined.

    If a package's C/C++ calls to BLAS/LAPACK allow for the ‘hidden’ arguments used by most Fortran compilers to pass the lengths of Fortran character arguments, define ‘USE_FC_LEN_T’ and include ‘Rconfig.h’ (possibly _via_ ‘R.h’) before including ‘R_ext/BLAS.h’ or ‘R_ext/Lapack.h’."

Thanks Duncan,

but my call to dgemv is from a FORTRAN subroutine, no C is involved. It is called by .Fortran in R code. I am confused (not for the first time).
