Most functions in R have a prefix on their name, with aliases defined so you can use the function without the prefix. But you can turn off the aliasing, in which case you need the true name. I think for all of the functions you list the prefix is "Rf_", so they are "Rf_error", etc.

Perhaps you turned off the aliasing?

Hi,

I have an R library with C code in it. It has failed the CRAN checks for 
Debian.  The problem is with the error function being undefined. Section 6.2 of 
the Writing R extensions (see below) suggests error handling can be handled by 
error and the appropriate header file is included in R.h, but this seems not to 
be the case?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

6.2 Error signaling

The basic error signaling routines are the equivalents of stop and warning in R 
code, and use the same interface.

void error(const char * format, ...);
void warning(const char * format, ...);
void errorcall(SEXP call, const char * format, ...);
void warningcall(SEXP call, const char * format, ...);
void warningcall_immediate(SEXP call, const char * format, ...);

These have the same call sequences as calls to printf, but in the simplest case 
can be called with a single character string argument giving the error message. 
(Don�t do this if the string contains �%� or might otherwise be interpreted as 
a format.)

These are defined in header R_ext/Error.h included by R.h.
The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with 
registration number SC005336. Is e buidheann carthannais a th� ann an Oilthigh 
Dh�n �ideann, cl�raichte an Alba, �ireamh cl�raidh SC005336.
