I would like to install rhdf5 in a secured, Windows-based server environment that (for security reasons) cannot access outside servers or websites. As the environment is "offline" in this sense, I cannot use the recommended procedure involving biocLite.R and the bioconductor repository directly for installing the rhdf5 package. I can upload specific files to the offline environment, but not install software directly myself (lack write-access to the relevant folders on the server where software is located). However, the system administrator has placed a mirror of CRAN in the "offline" environment, and installing new CRAN packages in R is unproblematic. For rhdf5 I have tried: 1. Install rhdf5 directly: Uploading the rhdf5_2.8.0.tar.gz file and installing it from the package manager in RStudio. This gives the message that "ERROR: dependency 'zlibbioc' is not available for package 'rhdf5'" 2. Installing required packages that rhdf5 relies on: Uploading and installing zlibbioc in the same manner. This gives me a warning that "This package has a configure script. It probably needs manual configuration" - followed by a compilation error (see full R-message here <http: screencast.com="" t="" 2btxvwuz="">). I am unable to figure out what the "status 127" error message refers to, or if this is even a sensible way to proceed. Has anyone got a simple solution that I can implement or (if needed) a more technical solution I can forward to my system administrator? Sincerely, Ole Rogeberg [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Ole sounds like a challenging environment. Did you check the vignette of the zlibbioc package (available from http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/zlibbioc.html ) - perhaps you need to go into the configure file zlibbioc/src/zlib-1.2.5/configure and adapt. And/or, run the configure manually and see where it fails (it looks like the output you posted is truncated / missing important information).

Dear Ole! Did you try to install the Windows binary package? zlibbioc_1.10.0.zip (32- & 64-bit) Bernd On 30.07.2014, at 14:05, Wolfgang Huber <whuber at="" embl.de=""> wrote: > Ole > > sounds like a challenging environment. > Did you check the vignette of the zlibbioc package (available from http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/zlibbioc.html ) - perhaps you need to go into the configure file zlibbioc/src/zlib-1.2.5/configure and adapt. > And/or, run the configure manually and see where it fails (it looks like the output you posted is truncated / missing important information). > > Wolfgang > > > > > > > > Il giorno Jul 30, 2014, alle ore 6:01 EDT, Ole Rogeberg <ole.rogeberg at="" gmail.com=""> ha scritto: > >> I would like to install rhdf5 in a secured, Windows-based server >> environment that (for security reasons) cannot access outside servers or >> websites.

I had not tried the windows binary package - I had used the "package source". I tried the windows binary packages, and both zlibbioc and rhdf5 installed correctly! Thank you!
