According to #150 the problem is not with deluxetable, but with a conflict between the new array.sty, the lineno package, and revtex4-1. The solution is the same; roll back array.sty to an old version. |

@augustfly I use the following MWE with the link, although I have put the How to fix the case? |

Hello and thanks for this report.
We believe that this problem is a three way conflict (coupled to array and revtex) relating to the loading of lineno. Because of that we are not attempting to patch the actual problem, though this will be fixed entirely in AASTeX 7 that removes the revtex dependency. v7 is expected in Q1 2025.
First, on my machine your MWE in your email works 100% fine. My compiler details are below my signature. Your email MWE works because you wrote:
\documentclass[lineno]{aastex631}
instead of
\documentclass[linenumbers]{aastex631}
Your original line loads nothing. My (2nd) line loads the lineno package and triggers a known problem. Loading array.sty "2020/02/10 v2.4m" with the "linenumbers" option causes no errors on my computer.
The lineno/array/revtex conflict I receive is also below my signature.

Hi, so your last question might be the most important one. You appear to me to have put the older array.sty file in your local working directory. But we have to check that is it actually being picked up in the compile. I don't know how latex paths are handled on your system, and I don't want to assume.
I work on a *nix platform (MacOS), so I check the logs by doing:
```
❯ grep array mwe.log
)) (./array.sty
Package: array 2020/02/10 v2.4m Tabular extension package (FMi)
```
in VS Code you'll need to open mwe.log and find the "Package: array" line to make sure it is using the local array.sty file.
Can you let me know which array.sty is being called in mwe.log?
thanks

@augustfly<https://github.com/augustfly> sorry for mistking the option linenumers and lineno in the test process. However, I have replace the option and check the version of the package but it still failed with the same error message.(shown in the figure below)

@augustfly I edited the original comment, I'm not sure whether you have noticed it? |

@Explorer-cc I am not able to work on this again until Thursday, Dec 26. I'm sorry for this delay. I note that GitHub seems to have truncated that log file. Can you email it to [email protected] so I can see the full log? |

@augustfly Actually I folded it, as follows. I will edit and unfold the

the latex tools package array.sty was reimplemented in October 2022. this new version (array.sty 2.5+) conflicts with the current deep/heinous re-working of tabular/deluxetable in aastex631. It makes it impossible to use
p{}columns.The work around is to use an old version of array (<2.5). Two old versions of array are available on CTAN.
array.sty v2.4m (link fixed) works with AASTeX 6.3.1. Copy this
array-2020-02-10.styfile toarray.styin your working directory and latex will pick it up and allow you to usep{}columns in tabular/deluxetable with AASTeX 6.3.1.Fix is to stop heinously reworking tabular in aastex, but so much is built on that reimplementation.
