I rented a server, using ananconda, when I installed the GEOquery package, I made a mistake and asked for help. (it was installed and used, but it failed after restarting.)

Did you see this part?

You need the libxml2 headers to install xml2, and there are some helpful ways to install listed, depending on the distro you are using.

I think that this is basically a variant of C: Installing ShortRead - error: zlib not found even with zlib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, where mixing conda and R installation mechanisms fails when there are system libraries in non-standard locations (see also this conda issue). You would instead like to say

conda install bioconductor-geoquery
