Although it does not solve the issue, the INF result is due to the MinGW gcc math library on 64-bit Windows that R links to. One can easily see this by compiling just machar.c and checking pow and sqrt on xmax. Note that on any platform the results are likely to be quite different between pow and

Hi, I noticed the links to my package vignettes on CRAN were gone after I started using ./vignettes instead of ./inst/doc, as suggested by the R-exts manual in R 2.14.0. For example, http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/formatR/index.html http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rd2roxygen/index.

Thanks Prof Ripley. Here is what I meant for "submit a test". I can build and check R source packages for Windows at http://win-builder.r-project.org/, but I am not aware of a link for Mac. I thought this can be useful for those without access to Mac machines. Regards, Zhu Wang >>> Prof B

I can reproduce on the latest patched build, but this is specific for the 64bit version of R. On a 32bit it works as expected: > big <- 1.797693134862315708385e+308 > sqrt(big) [1] 1.340781e+154 > big^0.5 [1] 1.340781e+154 The 64bit part might have something to do with it, and now move out of the

I think the poster is interested in being able to try the build/check on a Mac in the fashion that Winbuilder does. That is, rather than have CRAN do all the platform checks, is there a way to submit a package to be tested for just one platform? It may be useful to have such a facility so packag
