I am trying to use the R API to call optim functions (nmmin, vmmin, lbfgsb, etc.) through a C program but I couldn't find the shared library to link under the R-2.6.0 build which is compiled under Linux (REL5).
main.cpp:35: undefined reference to `Rf_initEmbeddedR(int, char**)' main.cpp:41: undefined reference to `nmmin' Thanks in advance for any help. ------------------------ #include <R_ext/Applic.h> #include <R.h> #include <stdio.h> double parabola(int n, double *par, void *ex) { double xm = par[0] - 1; return xm * xm + 13; } /* * Copied from tests/Embedded/embeddedRCall.c: */ extern int Rf_initEmbeddedR(int argc, char *argv[]); int main() { char *argv[]= {"nmminDemo", "--gui=none", "--silent"}; const int argc = 3; double initial[1] = {1.5}; double result[1]; double value; int convergenceCode; /* * The following values are based on the help * page for optim. */ const double abstol = 1e-16; const double reltol = 1e-8; const double alpha = 1.0; /* reflection factor */ const double beta = 0.5; /* contraction factor */ const double gamm = 2.0; /* expansion factor */ const int trace = 0; /* tracing on */ int fncount; const int maxit = 10000; Rf_initEmbeddedR(argc, argv); nmmin(1, initial, result, &value, parabola, &convergenceCode, abstol, reltol, NULL, alpha, beta, gamm, trace, &fncount, maxit); printf("fncount: %d\n", fncount); printf("convergence code: %d\n", convergenceCode); printf("min of %f at x = %f\n", value, result[0]); return 0; } [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
