+ If you are compiling code yourself (not using R itself), there are a few things to watch out for:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The output shared library name (to the left of the file extension) MUST match the module name, or alternatively, you can also set the -package NAME command line argument. See swig -r -help for more information
+<li>If you do not set the output file name appropriately, you might see errors like
+<div class="shell">
+<pre>
+> fact(4)
+Error in .Call("R_swig_fact", s_arg1, as.logical(.copy), PACKAGE = "example") :
+ "R_swig_fact" not available for .Call() for package "example"
+</pre>
+</div>
+<li>Make sure the architecture of the shared library(x64 for instance), matches the architecture of the R program you want to load your shared library into
+</ul>
