When I try to build your program, I get very immediate and explicit messages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> g++ -Wall -O3 -I/usr/share/R/include -o /tmp/johnmaddock
/tmp/johnmaddock.cc -lRmath
/tmp/ccb5T7l9.o: In function `main':

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
which shows that the compiler/linker do not yet know about the functions you
use.
Your mistake was to not do
#define MATHLIB_STANDALONE 1
before the #include of Rmath.h. After that, all is well:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> g++ -Wall -O3 -I/usr/share/R/include -o /tmp/johnmaddock

We are too polite for that, we also insist that folks do the old RTFM -- the
#define you missed is of course mentioned in the R Extensions manual.
