Everything you need to know is in the Writing R Extensions manual, and section 1.2.3 in particular. There are restrictions on Fortran 90/95 use due to portability issues.
Make sure you are following all of the advice in the manual, e.g.: - Files containing Fortran 90 code should have extension .f90 - Mixed Fortran 9x and C++ code is not supported and there is no guarantee that Fortran 9x can be mixed with other languages. - Free source form Fortran 9x is not portable. - When using modules, you may need to give compile-order hints to parallel make. - Do not include module files in the source - they are compiler-dependent.
