I am under the impression that passing a pointer to a static function

Well, yes and no. Given
extern( C ) returnType myFunc( /* args */ ) {}
You still have no function pointer to it. That is however easy to procure:
someCfunctionThatExpectsAfnPointer( &myFunc );
It could be that there is some hidden detail of C static functions that I
don't know, but i believe this works.
Can one call fortran libraries from D? Ie, say one wanted to use LAPACK
from D?
http://dsource.org/projects/scid uses LAPACK, so I guess it is possible.
Also, know of any mathematical libraries written in D (like
implementations
of runge-kutta, linear algebra routines and data structures,
optimization or
curve-fitting algorithms)?
At least some of this has been mentioned time and time again on the
newsgroup, you should be able to find it by searching.
