I think there is a problem with TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene
and EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75
. I'm struggling to install all of these packages as they pause at byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
. Can anyone try to re-install them in their local machine because am not the only one who is having the problem, please? They used to work fine until a week ago!
As usual, I install the packages by:
BiocManager::install(c("Homo.sapiens", "EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75", "TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene"))
I also tried installing them individually:
BiocManager::install("EnsDb.Hsapiens.v75")
BiocManager::install("TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene")
It pauses at :
* installing *source* package ‘TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene’ ...
** using staged installation
** R
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading

I'm not using RStudio. I'd be grateful if someone can try to replicate the error, please?
When you say they pause at byte-compile, for how long do they pause? E.g. do they pause forever or longer than usual?
Also you say these packages worked fine until a week ago. What has changed on your system since last week? E.g. did you upgrade your OS to macOS Big Sur? I'm curious to know why you are re-installing them if they were working fine.
Any additional information you can provide that could give us a clue of what's going on?
Thanks
Thank you Hervé Pagès for your reply and Happy New Year!
Regarding why am I re-installed the packages, long story short, I have a project in Rmarkdown which I was working on it for the last six months. The project (under version control ) uses different packages from bioconductor. I took a week break from the project at the end of December, then came back to it. At the time I came back to it, I didn't upgrade to Big Sur, was using macOS Catalina.
The first problem I encountered was When I tried to load
ggiob
, usinglibrary (ggbio)
, my console will show this message:then, the console will stuck forever, even after pressing
Ctrl + C
unless restarted again. So, I tried to clear the cache and removeggbio
fromRFrameworks
and re-install it again but the same problem occurred. So, I removed RStudio, R, all packages and re-install them but the same problem occurred (this time also had a problem installingTxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene
). I tried to solve the problem myself for a few days and googled to look if anyone having the same problem, found this forum, so I posted for the first time my two questions (regardingggbio
andTxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene
).I tried it on my Sister's Mac but unfriendly I encountered the same problem. Please note my sister's mac doesn't have R, so installed R and then just installed
ggbio
andTxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene
from R without RStudio but had a problem with both packages and this is thesessionInfo()
from my sister's Mac:Then. I upgraded to macOS Big Sur and tried again to install R and the packages but no luck.
To replicate the problem: Just install R and then run:
BiocManager::install("TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene")
but it will reachand I left it for 18 hours but it never continues, it only pause indefinitely.
Then, you can also try (as I mentioned in a different question):
Please note that
ggbio
is installed fine but once it's loaded withlibrary(ggbio)
, it shows:and the console then stuck forever. All this without using RStudio and I don't recall changes in my local machine that might affect the installation this much.
To summarise, I re-installed the packages because of the problem I was having with
ggbio
. Thank you again for your patience.
