Finding problem with nleqslv on PowerPC
I am the author of the nleqslv package for solving systems of non linear equations. The main code is written in Fortran. At the beginning of March, I released a new version with a few minor corrections in the R code. Nothing in the C or Fortran code was changed. The package passed all the CRAN checks/tests on Linux, Windows and Solaris systems and Mac OS X Intel platforms. However, on the Mac OS X PowerPc platform one of the examples gave a bus error. With previous versions of the package this did not happen. Moreover, the relevant Fortran code had not changed. So I simply do not understand what is going on. I run Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.7 which is Intel only, so I have no means of trying to find out what may be the cause. I would like to ask anyone with a Mac running Mac OS Leopard PowerPc to run the example below to see what happens. And maybe the cause of the bus error can be found. I have attached the R script and the output of running Rscript -e ppcissue_mailexample.R > ppcissue_mailexample.rout.txt best regards Berend Hasselman -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
