Sorry for the false alarm. Dirk is right and the problem is the binary
incompatibility between 3.4.0 and 3.3.3.

If you try building the R source RPM with R 3.4.0 *without using a
chroot* then you get interference from the installed version of R (i.e.
3.3.3) when the %check section of the spec file is run. This is not a
bug in the spec file because you are not supposed to build an SRPM this
way.

If you build the SRPM *using mock* (the chroot tool used by Red Hat)
then the build fails for a completely different reason. The chroot is
not set up with time zone information and this triggers one of the
regression tests.

I'm filing a bug report with Red Hat. So hopefully we will see RPMs of
R 3.4.0 for Fedora soon.

However, the issue raised by Erwan on Fedora is a real bug which
affects at least two recommended packages. I know the cause of the
problem and am trying to find out how many packages are affected.

Identical code ran correctly, without error in R 3.3.3 and earlier versions.  
The behavior is easily demonstrated using one of the examples form the lme() 
help file, along with two simple variants. I have commented the errors 
generated by these calls, as well as the lines of code generating them, in the 
code example below.

That is a known issue with R 3.4.0 -- see NEWS.

Packages using .C and .Fortran _must_ be recompiled for R 3.4.0. If and when
you do, the example will work again.

Re: [Rd] bug report: nlme model-fitting crashes with R 3.4.0

2017-05-11 Thread Erwan Le Pennec

Dear all,

I've stumbled a similar issue with the package cluster when 
compiling the 3.4.0 version with the settings of Fedora RPM specs. 
Compiling R with the default setting of configure yields a version that 
works for cluster... and nlme.


I did not find the exact option that was the cause of this issue 
but I'm willing to help.


Erwan

PS: This is the reason why R is still at version 3.3.3 on the Fedora 
distribution.
