Hi all,

I've recently updated my R to the newest version (3.6.1) and updated all my packages. However, one of the functions which previously worked perfectly fine, now produces an error, as the GO.db package is not available. For some reason I cannot install the GO.db package, I've tried multiple things and visited other webpages for problems with this package. So, I have compatible Rtools (v3.5) and RSQLite (which seemed to give problems with other people, e.g. https://www.biostars.org/p/133369/. So, when I run BiocManager::install("GO.db") I get the following error.

I subsequently tried to install the package by downloading GO.db_3.8.2.tar.gz to my local computer, and then install from source, which also didn't work. I'm a bit at a loss now, and would very much appreciate any help!

Best, Quinten

Are there other versions of GO.db already installed ("GO.db" %in% rownames(installed.packages())? If so remove them with remove.packages("GO.db").

Is the temporary directory tempdir() on a network share or in a location with a space in the path name?

Dear Martin,

Thanks for your extremely quick reply

GO.db has not been installed yet (only GOstats). tempdir() is on the C:: drive of the PC, and no space in present in the path name, see below

> tempdir()  
[1] "C:\\Users\\QRDUCA~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\RtmpOwYY6B"
One more thing I did not add in the previous post, although I am not sure if it is related, as nothing of the sort displays in the error message: 

Bioconductor version '3.9'

  * 9 packages out-of-date
  * 0 packages too new

create a valid installation with

  BiocManager::install(c(
    "bayesm", "BiocParallel", "curl", "foreach", "iterators", "quantreg", "Rcpp",
    "testthat", "xml2"
  ), update = TRUE, ask = FALSE)

  There are binary versions available but the source versions are later:

  Binaries will be installed

Not all of these packages could be successfully updated. Could this be related to GO.db (even though it does not seem to pop up in the error message)? Or something completely different?

Best, Quinten

I don't really understand the source of this problem. I think a work-around is

BiocManager::install("GO.db", INSTALL_opts="--no-test-load")

Dear Martin,

Thanks again for the quick reply. It doesn't work.... I get the same error message, see below =(. Any other ideas? Just out of curiosity, what was the idea behind INSTALL_opts="--no-test-load" ?

Please take a second to format your code chunks (select the code chunk and choose the icon with 101/010); I've been cleaning up after you.

The error message is different or you've provided more info, in particular

* removing '\\vf-lumc-home/lumc-home$/qrducarmon/MyDocs/R/win-library/3.6/GO.db'

which is a network drive; can you map this network drive to a non-network drive, and use that or another path to define .libPaths() so that the first entry (e.g., .libPaths(c("c:/non/network/ilbrary", .libPaths())) is a non-network drive?
