Hi David, When looking at apaDvalueTable.R, there's nothing that prevents the MBESS::ci.msd() call to be executed when show.conf.interval is FALSE. Even then the function will calculate it, just not show the result. So running your example on Solaris will still give you an error. You'll have to add an extra condition to prevent this.
On a sidenote: please use message() instead of cat() to send messages to the user. Then anyone who doesn't want to see them (eg bcs they do a simulation) can simply use suppressMessages() for that.
