Hi, When I try to load ballgown package, I get the following error.

> library("ballgown", lib.loc="\\\\UOFA/USERS$/users2/a123456/R/win-library/3.4")
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ballgown’ in loadNamespace(i, c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[i]]):
 there is no package called ‘GenomeInfoDbData’

I then tried to install the package 'GenomeInfoDbData' package and I get the following error.

> install.packages("C:/Users/a123456/RStudio-1.1.383/R/downloaded_packages/GenomeInfoDbData_0.99.1.tar.gz", repos = NULL, type = "source")

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are better off not installing your packages in a library dir that is on a network share. Ideally you would use a local drive.

Do note that this error isn't coming from R, nor any Bioconductor package. If you google that, you get things like this. You might be able to get away with mapping your UNC share to a drive letter, or maybe you could update CMD.exe.

But the easiest thing to do is simply use the hard drive on your computer for your package dir.
