You probably haven't managed to digest what Prof Ripley was writing:
"All arguments to functions called from C by Fortran are pointers
(or should be: yours are not)" - here is a more hand-holding kind
of answer, which is exactly the same advice, really - you need to
be doing something like this (note the pointers) instead:
>>>void F77_SUB(sarmultinom)(int *n,
>>> double** prob,
>>> int *K,
>>> int** rN){
>>>rmultinom(n, prob, K, rN);}
I'll be interested to see what breaks - do you mind sending me
both of test-multinom.f wrapper.c direct for me to have a look?
