Hi,

For an obscure reason I cannot get rhdf5 to install on my ubuntu 16 machine. When I try to install it on another computer with the same version of Ubuntu it works. I am wondering if you could help me out. Many thanks!

Here is the start and the  end of installation log which fitted here:

This is a strange problem, as it looks like it's problem compiling the version of libhdf5 that is distributed with the package.  Just to confirm it isn't a corrupted download, can you try downloading the rhdf5 source tarball (http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/src/contrib/rhdf5_2.20.0.tar.gz) and install directly from that.  Similarly you can try installing from the package's github repo:

BiocInstaller::biocLite('grimbough/rhdf5')

If neither of those works then I suspect it's a problem with the build tools you've got installed on that machine, but it might take a bit of trial and error to find them.  Let me know how you get on.

For good measure, try with a more recent version of R and perhaps also update the rest of your system before hunting quirks of a possibly obsolete system configuration.

There is a couple of oddities, e.g. "installation path not writeable, unable to update packages: boot, ... survival" (problem with permissions?) and the fact that you want to build R packages from source but have no C++ and Fortran installed. It's not clear whether they are causative, but tracing down a problem like the one you describe tends to be easier if the build system is well-maintained.

Thank you Mike Smith and Wolfgang Huber for your replies.

I tried copying the tarball from a another computer where it installed correctly, however it  did not work. Regarding the permission issues I tried to start the R session with sudo however it did not help. 

After few days of struggle I ended up formating my pc and re-instaling the Ubuntu and it did the trick. I suspect that at some point I might have manually messed up something in Ubuntu that I shouldn't have and it caused the problem.

 

Kind regards,

 

Abbas
