R help - Dec 2002 - is.loaded("gamma") is FALSE in Windows

Hi!  I am working on dynamically loading some C code into R and have my
programs working on a DEC alpha.  I have tried porting it to windows and
found that the gamma function is not loaded in the symbol table there, but
is under unix.  While I can add in the gamma function, I would prefer to
use the same one as in R and have the same code under unix and wondows.
Is there a way to access the internal gamma function from c in windows?

I am using R 1.6.0

best,
Merlise

What function do you think you are getting here?   R's internal gamma
function is not symbol `gamma', and it is not documented to be either.
If you look in `Writing R Extensions' you will find that there is a public
interface to a gamma function ....

If in desperation, read the documentation!
