When we run the R binary, we do so using glib's "spawn" mechanism, which attaches pipes to the called program's standard output and error output so that we can capture these in files and send them where we wish. I have not figured out how we can do the equivalent when calling libR. Sane libraries offer a reasonably simple way of redirecting printed output, sometimes by passing a printing-function pointer. I can't find this in libR. but maybe that's my failing.
