Hey David and Nick,

thanks a lot for the quick responses! I think I wasn't very clear in the
first e-mail. What I get is actually an error from within dist.nodes, not
when calling it.

I've tried to use chainsaw2 and in the beginning it appeared to be working
quite well. However after some running time, I get the same (original)
error that motivated me writing to the list:


> *Error in double(nm * nm) : vector size cannot be NA*
> *In addition: Warning message:**In nm * nm : NAs produced by integer
> overflow*


Digging into the functions called within chainsaw2, I found that at some
point it uses the function get_max_height_tree, that calls dist.nodes and
that's where I think the problem lies. The error I got now is almost
exactly the same as I got from timeSliceTree (because both cases use
dist.nodes):


> *dist.nodes*
> *function (x) *
> *{*
> *    x <- reorder(x)*
> *    n <- Ntip(x)*
> *    m <- x$Nnode*
> *    nm <- n + m*
> *    d <- .C(dist_nodes, as.integer(n), as.integer(m),
> as.integer(x$edge[, *
> *        1] - 1L), as.integer(x$edge[, 2] - 1L),
> as.double(x$edge.length), *

> *    dim(d) <- c(nm, nm)*
> *    dimnames(d) <- list(1:nm, 1:nm)*
> *    d**}*


I tried changing the highlighted part to something like
double(as.numeric(nm) * as.numeric(nm)), and when I try running it, I get
the error I wrote on the first e-mail:


> *Error in dist.nodes(tree) (from #7) : **  long vectors (argument 7) are
> not supported in .Fortran*


Thus, I think that to solve this problem some tweak in the C/Fortran code
that is called within dist.nodes (from ape) might be required, but I have
no expertise on that. So if someone can help me with that, I'll appreciate
it!

Thanks again for the help so far!

Best,
