I have made test rebuild of R-qtl using patched R on ppc64. %check passes without any problems. Upstream R is merging this change into 3.1.1. We'll pick it up with that drop later this week. rkward-0.6.1-9.fc20,rpy-2.3.10-2.fc20,R-3.1.1-1.fc20,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rkward-0.6.1-9.fc20,rpy-2.3.10-2.fc20,R-3.1.1-1.fc20,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.fc20 rkward-0.6.1-9.fc19,rpy-2.3.10-2.fc19,R-3.1.1-1.fc19,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rkward-0.6.1-9.fc19,rpy-2.3.10-2.fc19,R-3.1.1-1.fc19,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.fc19 R-3.1.1-1.el5,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.el5 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 5. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/R-3.1.1-1.el5,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.el5 R-3.1.1-1.el6,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.el6 has been submitted as an update for Fedora EPEL 6. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/R-3.1.1-1.el6,R-qtl-1.32.10-4.el6 Package rkward-0.6.1-9.fc19, rpy-2.3.10-2.fc19, R-3.1.1-1.fc19, R-qtl-1.32.10-4.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Created attachment 913144 [details] Patch correcting the pointer type Description of problem: Casts a pointer to uintptr_t to a pointer to unsigned int. On a 32 bit architecture this is OK since sizeof(uintptr_t) == sizeof(unsigned int). On a 64 bit LE architecture (like x86_64) this is not quite right. The unsigned int will be the lower 32 bits of the uintptr_t. As long as the value is less than 2^32 it will work - which is usually the case here. On a 64 bit BE architecture (like ppc64) this is very wrong. The unsigned int will be the high 32 bits of the uintptr_t, i.e. the value is divided by 2^32. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): R-core-3.1.0-5.el7.ppc64.rpm R-core-3.1.0-5.el6.ppc64.rpm Patch attached. Additional info: I found this issue when I tried to figure out why the %check fails on the build of R-qtl. However, I have no access to a ppc64 RHEL installation so I can not be sure this is the reason for the failure. I would have to do a chained scratch build in koji which is not possible. The current R-qtl specfile puts the check inside %ifnarch ppc64.
