The following function does not use row pivoting for LU decomposition. Is there an existing function in R that does LU decomposition with row pivot?

Perhaps this does the job. However, there is not a windows binary and I can't try it.

thanks I will give it a try
Magma requires the underlying magma library as well as an NVidia card for GPU computing. There are pivoting solutions in R -- I'd ask on r-help.
