Dear All, The metafor package currently fails CRAN checks on Sparc Solaris: http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_metafor.html The problem is probably due to an unintended (= stupid) use of identical() in a couple tests.

CRAN check for package on Sparc Solaris

Hi Wolfgang, I can test your package, please send it to me in private. Btw. I only have an x86 machine, and no sparc, so if your problem is sparc-specific, then my test is probably useless. Gabor On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 3:48 PM, Viechtbauer Wolfgang (STAT) <

Thank you for the kind offer! Unfortunately, the problem is really Sparc Solaris: http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_metafor.html On Solaris x86 and all other flavors, it passes without errors.

This issue is discussed in http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-exts.html#Writing-portable-packages, to which he was referred by the CRAN report. It fails in the same way with --disable-long-double on an x86_64 Linux box (as he was told).

Yes, I did read that part but it doesn't say anything about who to contact in case one doesn't have access to a Sparc Solaris machine, but one still wants to run the tests on that architecture. As I said, I think I got the issue resolved, but before I resubmit, I would prefer to check this -- I am ultimately just trying to avoid potentially wasting people's time here. As for Linux x86_64 without long doubles. Is this something that is part of the checks here? http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_results_metafor.html Doesn't seem that way. But is this still part of the CRAN checks? I can of course simply assume/hope that the issue, which is now hopefully resolved on Sparc Solaris, is the same that caused problems for Linux x86_64 without long doubles and that is then also hopefully resolved. Or I could hope that another kind soul with a compiled version of R on Linux x86_64 with --disable-long-double is willing to give the new tarball a whirl.
