[R] lpSolve doesn't compile because of a malloc.h error

[vittorio]

Yes, it was very clear but being an absolute beginner as a programmer I was 
misled by the presence of both stdlib.h and malloc.h in lpslink55.c (in a 
nutshell, I thought "Why s it complaining if stdlib.h is there, in the 
code??").

Anyway, thanks to your help I made it in the end.

Ciao
Vittorio
