Hi,

Right now, it seems that none of the AnnotationData packages have Window Binary or Mac versions available, only Source. Did I just happen to try it when they are being rebuilt or are they no longer available? Here's an example:

Thanks,

Jenny

None of the annotation data packages have binaries, nor do they need them since there is no compilation required. If you install using biocLite, it will just get the source package and install as usual:

Edit: I should note that the output below is from a windows box

Ok. I was trying to install on a computer lab system where I will be teaching later this week, and was unable to install the packages somehow – kept getting “non-zero exit-status”. I thought it was just the lack of binary versions, and I didn’t know my support.bioconductor.org log-in info to be able to post the error messages from there. I’ll go back down and check it today with someone from our IT department, and if we are still having trouble I’ll post again. I didn’t have any trouble installing annotation data packages on this computer lab last fall for an older R version, but they may have changed some settings on me in the system or when they installed R 3.2.3. Thanks, Jenny

OK, here are the error messages. It seems like the system is not able to handle the space in in the path to R? The IT guy for the computer lab has no idea why that would be happening. I can probably get around it by directly installing from the command line, but why is this happening on the computer lab system and not my own PC?

Thanks for any help,

Jenny

It shouldn't be doing that. It should be returning the 8.3 short path on Windows. What do you get from R.home("bin")?

On my Windows box I get

> R.home("bin")
[1] "c:/PROGRA~1/R/R-32~1.2/bin/x64"

Thanks, Jim. This is the response I got from our IT guy: So the problem on our system is that short names are disabled. It appears I may have to create a new image to re enable short names. I think we’ll be able to solve it from here. Jenny
