I am trying to get myself more familiar with Bioconductor, so I have
been walking through the vignette of the 2013 Intermediate
R/Bioconductor for Sequence Analysis course offered earlier this month
(February 2013). (Link to course page and vignette:
http://www.bioconductor.org/help/course-
materials/2013/SeattleFeb2013/).
I have installed R 3.0 and Bioconductor 2.12 as per the instructions
in the vignette. I now have two problems:
The first seems relatively minor: I cannot seem to get RStudio to open
R 3.0. I simply get a message that says that "The R session had a
fatal error." I can open R using its own GUI, but it would be nice to
work within RStudio.
The second is a bit more problematic. I have been able to follow the
vignette without too many problems up until
Chapter 5 "Strings and Reads". The exercise has you load the
BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3 data package. I am able to download
the package using the provided link to the development version of the
Drosophila genome (http://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/data/annotat
ion/html/BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3.html) and by entering the
following code:
>source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
>biocLite("BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3")
However, when I try to load the library, I get the following:
> library(BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3)
Error: package ???BSgenome.Dmelanogaster.UCSC.dm3??? was built before
R 3.0.0: please re-install it
The library installs on earlier releases of R, but I cannot convince
it to run on R 3.0 where I can make use of the current vignette.
Any advice on either of these two issues, but particularly the second,
would be greatly appreciated.
