Hi.

I have tried to install bioconductor and cummeRbund on my ubuntu 16.04 machine and I can't get anything to install. When I use

source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()

the installation fails because RSQLite won't install.

So I tried:

biocLite("RSQLite") and it won't install. 

I'll attach the error message below. Thanks in advance:

This is a problem with RSQLite, so should be reported at https://github.com/r-dbi/RSQLite/issues and / or to maintainer("RSQLite") or perhaps more likely with your own installation.

looks strange to me -- cassert in the 'system' install location finds assert.h in a local installation; maybe you've got two (incompatible) versions of a C compiler installed?
