<br>Hi Ben,<br><br> I can go either way with this, but it seems that we have to remove adephylo at least for now.<br><br> Concerning the failure to build on solaris, it looks more like a bug in NCL than in phylobase per se. I'm going to contact Mark to see if he has a solution to offer.<br>

Hey guys,<br>
<br>
Any opinions about this?<br>
<br>
adephylo is not absolutely necessary to phylobase, but it bothers me<br>
to spend effort removing it when we might be able to fix it instead.<br>
Perhaps if Thibaut responds (the fix is fairly trivial) and we then<br>
grovel to the R Gods/BDR ...<br>
<br>
It may be necessary for political reasons to make these changes and<br>
then revert them if/when we get adephylo fixed.<br>
<br>
We have another issue -- the Solaris build (sigh) is failing, with the<br>
following error:<br>
<br>
"./ncl/nxsstring.h", line 467: Error: The function "sprintf" must have<br>
a prototype.<br>
<br>
Fixing this (by remote control) could be pretty challenging -- R-forge<br>
doesn't have a Solaris build, so it could involve more grovelling to BDR<br>
for advice (another reason to temporarily do the adephylo fix, unless we<br>
can get our act together quickly).<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
Ben<br>

It's far too late: adephylo has been archived. His complete failure<br>
to respond to messages means we may be reluctant to re-admit it.<br>
<br>
In any case, phylobase needs an update now.<br>
