I just downloaded R 2.2.0 for Windows, after which I installed several Bioconductor packages using the packages menu. I downloaded hexbin and graph apparently without incident, except that "colorspace" was not found. However, I cannot run hexbin: >library(hexbin) Loading required package: colorspace Error: package 'colorspace' could not be loaded In addition: Warning message: there is no package called 'colorspace' in: library(pkg, character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc) > hexbin Error: object "hexbin" not found "graph" apparently installed "Ruuid".

I'm guessing: 1. you did the installation using the menus 2. you had selected only the bioconductor repository to select packages from. Unfortunately, this doesn't allow the tools to install dependencies from other package repositories, namely CRAN, where colorspace is hosted. This isn't your fault and it is something we will try to address for the future. I think you can resolve your issue with hexbin by installing the colorspace package from CRAN. You might also try select both bioconductor and CRAN repositories form the menu and then reinstalling hexbin (note: I haven't tried this, but I think it has a good chance of working). Best, + seth

The colorspace dependency is available from any cran mirror, e.g. http://cran.au.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/colorspace.html Marcus On 10/20/05 7:58 AM, "Naomi Altman" <naomi at="" stat.psu.edu=""> wrote: > I just downloaded R 2.2.0 for Windows, after which I installed > several Bioconductor packages using the packages menu. > > I downloaded hexbin and graph apparently without incident, except > that "colorspace" was not found. > > However, I cannot run hexbin: > >> library(hexbin) > > Loading required package: colorspace > Error: package 'colorspace' could not be loaded > In addition: Warning message: > there is no package called 'colorspace' in: library(pkg, > character.only = TRUE, logical = TRUE, lib.loc = lib.loc) > >> hexbin > Error: object "hexbin" not found > > > "graph" apparently installed "Ruuid".
