I have some problems installing graphite since the new release of Bioconductor.

Initially I had trouble allocating a vector of certain size. However, on the last try I got a new error, related to graphite.ts before getting the same error message:

I am using a Ubuntu distribution (16.04) of 32 bytes. I see that the building of the package in windows is also having some problems I don't know if these problems are related or not. Any advice how can I install it? Or does someone else have the same problem?

Dear Lluís,

I've been able to reproduce the issue you mentioned on a 32 bit system. I developed a fix; it is already available in the development version of graphite (http://bioconductor.org/packages/3.9/bioc/html/graphite.html).

I will also backport the change to the stable release. It should be available as soon as the package is rebuilt; hopefully, early next week.
