Using R 3.4.2, BioC 3.6, SingleCellExperiment_1.0.0. The following example code from ?SingleCellExperiment produces an error

library(SingleCellExperiment)

ncells <- 100
u <- matrix(rpois(20000, 5), ncol=ncells)
v <- log2(u + 1)

pca <- matrix(runif(ncells*5), ncells)
tsne <- matrix(rnorm(ncells*2), ncells)

sce <- SingleCellExperiment(
  assays = list(counts=u, logcounts=v),
  reducedDims = SimpleList(PCA=pca, tSNE=tsne)
)

The error message is

Error in checkSlotAssignment(object, name, value) : 
  assignment of an object of class “GRangesList” is not valid for slot ‘rowRanges’ in an object of class “SingleCellExperiment”; is(value, "GenomicRangesORGRangesList") is not TRUE

This on a fresh Centos7 VM. If I'm not mistaken these examples are also tested as a part of the build process so I'm very puzzled how the code could fail on me.

EDIT: This appears to work perfectly fine on my MacBook Pro. It may be something strange in the setup of the Unix server I'm on.

Works fine on my machine. Make sure you've properly updated all dependencies, as mentioned in:
