Dear Eric and Martin Thanks it works fine now - just got confused by the installation instructions in the manual. regards Anne -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Martin Morgan [mailto:mtmorgan at fhcrc.org] Sendt: 22. maj 2008 17:42 Til: Kort, Eric Cc: 'Anne'; bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch Emne: Re: [BioC] flowClust package - how to get it installed (sorry for the re-send, the first didn't make it to the list) "Kort, Eric" <eric.kort at="" vai.org=""> writes: Hi Eric -- a couple of suggestions below... > Anne writes: > Rgui, the following worked for me (on Windows XP, R 2.7): > > install.packages("flowClust") > > And I presume this will work also: > > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") > biocLite("flowClust") Follow the second approach (source + biocLite). This will ensure, for instance, that your R / bioc packages are compatible, that you're accessing the correct repository, that you're getting necessary dependencies, etc. It'll also give others on the list, including the pacakge maintainer, confidence that the package has been installed in a reproducible way. > However, you WILL need the GSL libraries installed (libgsl.dll and > libgslcblas.dll).

While simple, this'll bring you grief in the long run, e.g., when you update R or GSL, want to use GSL libraries for some other purpose, etc. I'd follow the recommendations in gsl-bin-zip.php, and add the path to the .dll to a PATH environment variable.
