Hi all

I am trying to install packages into my Rstudio. Running R version: 3.4.4. However the packages seem to download fine but then won't load for a lot of them? So for S4Vectors the download proceeded as follows:

biocLite("S4Vectors")
BioC_mirror: https://bioconductor.org
Using Bioconductor 3.6 (BiocInstaller 1.28.0), R 3.4.4 (2018-03-15).

Old packages: 'checkmate', 'cluster', 'nlme', 'RcppArmadillo'

  There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:
                   binary      source needs_compilation
checkmate           1.9.1       1.9.3              TRUE

package ‘RcppArmadillo’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded binary packages are in
    C:\Users\sejjzcr\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp8MmDrg\downloaded_packages

But then when I try and load the library it gives an error (which I can't seem to google my way around):

 library(S4Vectors)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘S4Vectors’:
 .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'S4Vectors', details:
  call: .Call(.NAME, ..., PACKAGE = PACKAGE)
  error: "make_RAW_from_NA_LLINT" not available for .Call() for package "S4Vectors"

I get the same sort of error for GenomicRanges, BSgenome, Xvector, so all the good stuff...

Is this to do with the binary packages being in a different folder to the package downloads? I work on a university managed desktop but have had privileges to download into the folder where my packages (not the binary versions) are being downloaded, and I can see them in the R folder library there, so they do seem to download fine?

Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks all!

All the best, Zoe

Are there multiple versions of, e.g., S4Vectors installed? Investigate using .libPaths() and installed.packages(). If so, probably you are updating one installation, but then using another (older?) version. If your installation has a general-purpose entry in .libPaths(), you could try removing it (something like .libPaths(.libPaths()[-INDEX_OF_UNWANTED_PATH]).

Hi

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately however this is the only version installed according to installed.packages(), and the lib path is set correctly. We now think it seems likely to be due to the lack of admin privileges that the packages cannot load properly...

All the best, Zoe
