Hi all,

I have successfully installed "MotifDb" package,but failed to load it, and got the following error message. After a while searching, It may be caused by some R package that not updated to the newest version. However, I have upgraded all the packages.

Thank you!

The following solution come from: C: Error in GRanges: could not find symbol "recursive" in environment of the generi

You'll actually have to reinstall from source i.e. with:

biocLite(c("BiocGenerics", "S4Vectors", "IRanges", "GenomicRanges"),
         type="source")

which won't work if your system is not set up for doing this. Our Windows and Mac binary packages are not fully compatible with R 3.3.3 yet. We're working on it.

In the meantime, if you're on Windows or Mac, and don't know how to set up your system to install from source, the recommendation is to stick to R 3.3.2.

Pengcheng Yang,

Sorry you encountered trouble with MotifDb.

The same error, with a solution proposed, is reported here: Error in GRanges: could not find symbol "recursive" in environment of the generic function

Could you give that a try?

Hi Paul Shanno,

Thank you for your reply and the provided information. I have tried the solution and successfully loaded the MotifDb library under R 3.3.2 version.
