Hi!

I tried to install package: Rhtslib in my miniconda env, but I get error:

make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/Rtmpmkgpv4/R.INSTALL78e3ccf441d/Rhtslib/src/htslib-1.7'

I using Bioconductor 3.7 (BiocInstaller 1.30.0)

What I can do, to install that package?

Since you're using conda, are you installing Rhtslib using conda (rather than biocLite() / BiocManager::install() / install.packages())?

If you are using conda to install Rhtslib, then think this is ultimately a shortcoming of the conda recipe for Rhtslib, and a conda solution is required -- installing the appropriate conda container for libz. I don't know how to do that other than via google, which lead me to https://anaconda.org/anaconda/zlib

Hi,

I using miniconda with installed R 3.5.1. First I want to install package: methylkit:

http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/methylKit.html

but during installation that error will show:

In file included from bgzf.c:39:0:

htslib/bgzf.h:35:10: fatal error: zlib.h: No such file or directory

 #include <zlib.h>

          ^~~~

compilation terminated.

I tried those command:

1. BiocManager::install("methylKit", version = "3.8")

result: error shown above

2. conda install -c bioconda bioconductor-methylkit

   result error:

Solving environment: failed

Why methylKit installatin script do not see zlib and htslib ?

I also encountered the same error as you did. I also used miniconda to install R (for I don't have administrator permission). One of my friends help me to install Rhtslib package, and then I installed methylKit successfully. Here is the process of installing Rhtslib. Some steps maybe are not necessary, for he also tried several times.

1. Wrote a shell script and source it.

   prefix=/yourpath/to/software/miniconda3/envs/R.3.6.0 export PATH=$prefix/bin:$PATH export MANPATH=$prefix/man:$MANPATH export LDLIBRARYPATH=$prefix/lib:$prefix/lib64:$LDLIBRARYPATH export CFLAGS="-I$prefix/include" export LDFLAGS="-L$prefix/lib"

   export CINCLUDEPATH=$CINCLUDEPATH:$prefix/include export CPLUSINCLUDEPATH=$CPLUSINCLUDEPATH:$prefix/include

2. Download the Rhstlib package (wget https://bioconductor.org/packages/3.9/bioc/src/contrib/Rhtslib1.16.1.tar.gz ./ ) and tar -zxvf Rhtslib1.16.1.tar.gz.

3. cd to Rhtslib. Add "-I/yourpath/to/software/miniconda3/envs/R.3.6.0/include/ -L/yourpath/to/software/miniconda3/envs/R.3.6.0/lib/" after " htslibdefaultlibs = -lz -lm -lbz2 -llzma" in several files, including Makefile.Rhtslib, Makefile. And in Makefile, add the same thing after "CC = gcc" .
4. rm -f Rhtslib1.16.1.tar.gz. And tar -zcvf Rhtslib1.16.1.tar.gz Rhtslib
5. Open R. Typing install.packages("Rhtslib_1.16.1.tar.gz"). Attention, this Rhtslib is the package you modified above.
6. Rhtslib installed successfully.
7. I typed BiocManager::install(methylKit) . plyr and ggplot2 are absent. So I installed these two packages. And again typing BiocManager::install(methylKit). The methylKit was installed successfully.

Hi,

This looks like the same problem as here https://support.bioconductor.org/p/112599/ or https://support.bioconductor.org/p/124836/ A fix is in the way (in Rhtslib 1.16.2). Rhtslib 1.16.2 should become available via BiocManager::install() in the next 24h or so.

Best,

H.
