Hi I am working in a machine that has R installed, but I don't know how to discover the R_HOME value to install EBI Biocep R is installed at /usr/local/bin/R I suppose it's been installed via RPM so I am not sure what's the R_HOME value in this case another doubt, related to EBI Biocep I've downloaded it following the instructions of this presentation www.bioconductor.org/workshops/2007/BioC2007/labs/distr/BioC2007-distR .pdf but I am having problems to make it work. I've already sent an email to kchine at ebi.ac.uk and ostolop at ebi.ac.uk a few days ago, without sucsess. Has anyone tried this package? It claims it's possible to make R methods available as web services, which seems extremely interesting. Best regards, thanks in advance Kenji

Once you have it (e.g. "R-base") then you can get more info about this RPM with: rpm -qi R-base See the list of all the files/directories belonging to it: rpm -ql R-base I would be surprised that /usr/local/bin/R comes from an RPM though since /usr/local/ generally contains stuff that has been configured/compiled/installed by hand (note that the configure script will very often default to --prefix=/usr/local). > > so I am not sure what's the R_HOME value in this case > > another doubt, related to EBI Biocep > > I've downloaded it following the instructions of this presentation > > www.bioconductor.org/workshops/2007/BioC2007/labs/distr/BioC2007-dis tR.pdf > > but I am having problems to make it work. > > I've already sent an email to kchine at ebi.ac.uk and ostolop at ebi.ac.uk a > few days ago, without sucsess. Please be patient. People can be too busy. Eventually you could try again in a few days. Also, generally speaking, when you post to a mailing list, it's not always the best strategy to put together 2 completely different issues in the same email.
