=========================== Interface to the R language

R has a wealth of libraries that it would be foolish to ignore (or try to reimplement all of them).

This packages is here to offer one to play with Julia while calling R whenever it has a library that would be needed.

Install

Requirements

• R, compiled with the option --enable-R-shlib
• R executable in the ${PATH} (or path specified in the file Make.inc)

Build and install

This is a valid Julia package. Once you have all the METADATA.jl jazz for Julia packages sorted out (exercise left to the reader), installing a building will be done with:

julia> require("pkg")
julia> Pkg.add("Rif")

Once this is done, in a subsequent Julia process one can just write

julia> require("Rif")

The first time it is done, the C part of the package will be compiled against the R found in the $PATH.
