I have library in development with a function that works when called from the top level, but fails under R CMD check. The paricular line of failure is rsum <- rowSums(kmat>0) where kmat is a dsCMatrix object.
I'm currently stumped and looking for some ideas. I've created a stripped down library "ktest" that has only 3 functions: pedigree.R to create a pedigree or pedigreeList object, kinship.R with "kinship" methods for the two objects one small compute function called by the others along with the minimal amount of other information such that a call to R --vanilla CMD check ktest gives no errors until the fatal one. There are two test cases. A 3 line one that creates a dsCMatrix and call rowSums at the top level works fine, but the same call inside the kmat.pedigreeList function gives an error 'x' must be an array of at least two dimensions Adding a print statement above the rowSums call shows that the argument is a 14 by 14 dsCMatrix. I'm happy to send the library to anyone else to try and duplicate.
