str is a pointer to an array of pointers to strings.  That's what char**
means.  So you need to declare it that way, and use it that way.

This works for me:

File test.c:

void test(char **str)
{
    Rprintf("%s",*str);
}

Oops, I just noticed that the include was missing. The full file should have

#include "R.h"

at the beginning.
