I'm running Fedora 23 with KDE 5.16. I'm trying to install biocLite using the commands
source("https://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite()
as root.
After answering 'a' to the question on which packages I want to install, I get the following (edited) output:
* installing *source* package ‘base64enc’ ...
** package ‘base64enc’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

I have tried to reinstall gcc to no avail. Does anyone have a solution or work around?

Thank you, that got me a bit further. All packages now installed with quite a few warnings, but no errors. My ultimate goal, however, is to install the "lumi" package under R v. 3.2.2. Now,
biocLite('lumi')will install this package to without errors, but with some warnings. But when I try to load it withlibrary(lumi)orlibrary('lumi')I get the errors:Error : Functions found when exporting methods from the namespace ‘S4Vectors’ which are not S4 generic: ‘grep’, ‘grepl’, ‘subset’
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘lumi’
Googling a bit I found a suggestion for a similar problem where someone was advised to install the package 'BioGenerics'. However this package does not exist for R 3.2.2. I have also done a
update.packages()without any luck.Knut H.
The package you would have been advised to install is 'BiocGenerics' (note the 'c').
A final step in package installation is to test the the installed package loads, so at the time of installation your libraries were configured successfully.
Verify that
packageVersion("BiocInstaller")reports 1.20.1.Does
BiocInstaller::biocValid()report version mis-matches between packages? If so, try and resolve those. If there are 'warnings' that indicate that package(s) fail to install, 'drill down' to isolate the first package that fails to install, and trouble-shoot or provide the complete output of the attempt to install that package.Yes I did install biocGenerics, just an error in my post.
BiocInstaller is v. 1.20.1, but there were 25 packages with version mismatch. Fixing that
BiocInstaller::biocValid()now reports TRUE.But my problem now seems to be permissions. I have installed all packages as root. When I try to do
library('lumi')as root it works perfectly, but when I do it as an ordinary user I still get the namespace errors. So now I go hunting for wrong file permissions. Any suggestion for candidates is appreciated!Knut H.
As root I guess you have entries in .libPaths() that are different from entries in user .libPaths(). Likely the user account has a version of BiocGenerics / S4Vectors in their .libPaths() different from root. File permissions per se should not be a problem.
You were absolutely right. Now it works!
Thank you!
