many thanks for the response. I tried compiling without optimization and it still gives me the same problem. Would you think it is something related to the package? Could it be that I should use another version of the particular package than the one included? Or could it be something with the way the results are compared? Would you suggest I can trust this version of R for performing the statistical analysis I am after? many thanks, georgios
