Hello I have installed R (1.7.0) and Bionconductor (1.1) on Unix (Solaris 2.6). I had no problem for the installation. When I want to load the package affy (library(affy)) I have an error message as shown below. Here are the error, the ~Renviron file and the libraries installed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- mercure{sasircm}103: bin/R R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.7.0 (2003-04-16) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Actually, I get an identical error which seems to be caused by the installation process not installing the DESCRIPTION file. If I install by downloading Bioconductor_1.1.tar.gz and then doing the usual "R CMD INSTALL Bioconductor_1.1.tar.gz", then there are no DESCRIPTION files in the directories. (The same thing happens if I use the getBioC() function). However, if I download the individual tar.gz file for each package, and install each of them individually, then everything works fine. The strange thing is that this did not happen to me about two days after the release of R 1.7.0, when I installed the deb package. A few weeks later I built R from sources, and I just noticed this problem with bioconductor last night. If I now use the original installed package, I get the same error. Note that I have been able to install other packages from CRAN, such as car, gregmisc or e1071, without trouble. Maybe this is a problem with my setup (and with Johanne's set up), but I don't see it, specially since everything works OK when I install the individual Bioc. packages one by one. > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 1 minor 7.0 year 2003 month 04 day 16 language R Ram?n On Thursday 08 May 2003 22:37, Jeff Gentry wrote: > > > library(affy) > > > > Error in library(package, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, > > warn.conflicts = warn.conflicts, : This is not a valid package -- no > > DESCRIPTION exists > > Error in library(affy) : .First.lib failed > > > > > q() > > It would seem that somehow your installation of the affy package is > broken. > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor -- Ram?n D?az-Uriarte Bioinformatics Unit Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncol?gicas (CNIO) (Spanish National Cancer Center) Melchor Fern?ndez Almagro, 3 28029 Madrid (Spain) Fax: +-34-91-224-6972 Phone: +-34-91-224-6900 http://bioinfo.cnio.es/~rdiaz

I located a problem with our bundle generation code that seems to not get along so well with R-1.7.X. The fixed bundles will find their way to the website in the near future. -J

Hellp I have installed the affy package alone. De-install it and Reinstall it without success. I used R CMD INSTALL affyXXX. In the lib directory created by the installation I do have the DESCRIPTION file installed.

Dear Johanne, What error message are you getting? I think you are running Linux; could you give more details? Do you get the same error with another version of R? I just tried, and I do not get any errors with R-1.6.2. Could this be a problem with R-1.7.0? If so, then maybe we sould post a summary of this problem to R-help. What seems strange, though, is that not many people seem to be experiencing this problem.

There are not that many people who use the bundle, most people use getBioC() to install Bioconductor. I will look at this and see what the problem is.

Using R-1.7.0 (but not R-1.6.X) using boht the release bundle *and* the getBioC() script you get packages w/o DESCRIPTION files? How do you call getBioC()? -J

Well, that is what I thought. But now I cannot reproduce the behavior with getBioC(), and I am getting other sorts of weird errors, etc. So I am starting to think that my setup is all messed up. I am gonna remove all of my R installations and do a fresh install and will get back to you. > How do you call getBioC()? I "su", and then run R as root.
