Giovanni,

you are trying to open a can of worms. Se recent discussions on R-pkg-devel, Writing R Extensions, and the help page for .Fortran.

Hello R-helpers!

I am trying to call a LAPACK subroutine directly from my R code using 
.Fortran(), but R cannot find the symbol name. How can I register/load the 
appropriate library?

### AR(1) Precision matrix
n <- 4L
phi <- 0.64
AB <- matrix(0, 2, n)
AB[1, ] <- c(1, rep(1 + phi^2, n-2), 1)
AB[2, -n] <- -phi
round(AB, 3)
       [,1]  [,2]  [,3] [,4]
[1,]  1.00  1.41  1.41    1
[2,] -0.64 -0.64 -0.64    0

### Cholesky factor
AB.ch <- .Fortran("dpbtrf", UPLO = 'L', N = as.integer(n),
+                  KD = 1L, AB = AB, LDAB = 2L, INFO = as.integer(0))$AB
Error in .Fortran("dpbtrf", UPLO = "L", N = as.integer(n), KD = 1L, AB = AB,  :
   Fortran symbol name "dpbtrf" not in load table
