R-beta: locfit package.

[Mark A. Beaumont]

Dear Clive,

Thanks for your advice. The problem appears to be with the ints, as you
suggested.
I changed the typedef long int INT bit of local.h to typedef int INT (note:
this is different from your "all else fails" suggestion), and
reinstalled, and the example now works fine (I haven't checked further, yet)

Best wishes,
Mark
