I am under the impression that passing a pointer to a static function (ie,<br>
passing a pointer to a memory address that contains the starting point of a<br>
function) is not the same as defining a method that can be called by name<br>
from C code. I am not a C expert though.<br>

Well, yes and no. Given<div class="im"><br>
<br>
extern( C ) returnType myFunc( /* args */ ) {}<br>
<br></div>
You still have no function pointer to it. That is however easy to procure:<br>
<br>
someCfunctionThatExpectsAfnPointer( &myFunc );<br>
<br>
It could be that there is some hidden detail of C static functions that I<br>
don't know, but i believe this works.<div class="im"><br>

Can one call fortran libraries from D? Ie, say one wanted to use LAPACK<br>
from D?<br>

</div><a href="http://dsource.org/projects/scid" target="_blank">http://dsource.org/projects/scid</a> uses LAPACK, so I guess it is possible.<div class="im"><br>

Also, know of any mathematical libraries written in D (like implementations<br>
of runge-kutta, linear algebra routines and data structures, optimization or<br>
curve-fitting algorithms)?<br>

At least some of this has been mentioned time and time again on the<br>
newsgroup, you should be able to find it by searching.<br>
