I don't know your level of R, so if I am being too simplistic, I am sorry, anyway: Check where the folder altcdfenvs was located (you have two options, you can decide to install it in the folder Library inside the folder HD/Library/Frameworks/R or under Users/'yourname'/Library/R/library (when doing getBioC() you were probably asked where to install it) if you have the folder altcdfenvs in in one of those folders and library(altcdfenvs) still gives you an error, then maybe you need to give the right path inside R so that the libraries are read in all the folders that you have libraries in I think this can be done by using the function: .libPaths(new) (new being the path to the folder: "Users/yourname/library" The other solution, would be to place your library in the library from frameworks, where it should work hope this helps From: Barry Zeeberg <zeebergb@mail.nih.gov> Subject: [BioC] Problem installing altcdfenvs To: <bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch> Message-ID: <bdc288a9.2d89%zeebergb@mail.nih.gov> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" I am using R version 2.0.1 on mac os 10.3.6 Here is a transcript showing the problem: > source("http://www.bioconductor.org/getBioC.R") > > getBioC() > library(altcdfenvs) Error in library(altcdfenvs) : There is no package called 'altcdfenvs' trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/2.0/PACKAGES' Content type `text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1' length 18693 bytes opened URL Please advise.
