Subject: [Rd] File and console output does not work in C code
Message-ID: <49808BD5.2090105@igh.cnrs.fr>

Hello all,
I am getting into trouble when trying to do standard I/O from a C 
function called within R environment.

This function is written in a small C library that is loaded whith 
dyn.load() and called in R via the .C() interface. I need to debug the C 
code using a text file for some logs, and also to speed up its result 
visualization by creating images on the fly using the GD library.
Both of these outputs require to write into files from this C function.
Allthough everything goes smoothly from compilation and linking to 
execution into R without errors, no file is created. I have also tried 
to do some simple printf(), Rprintf() and REprintf() but even that 
didn't gave me any visible output.

Am I missing something trivial? Could anyone give me a hint on why it 
does not work?
Best regards,

Benjamin
