I've gotten this error a few times. Each time I rerun getBioC("exprs") , it get past it and then it happens again. * DONE (multtest) [1] "Installation complete" Error in if ((is.null(deps)) || (length(deps) == 0) || (deps == "")) return(NULL) : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed I'm running R 1.9.1 on linux compiled from source. -Robert

I've gotten a rash of these reports, have not been able to personally reproduce it. Originally the first couple of people were using Mac OS X, so thought it was a problem specific to that OS, but now have a few people using Win32 and Unix machines. I'm a bit baffled as everyone is using release side stuff, and nothing should have changed there, but clearly something is not right. Will let folks know ASAP when I figure something out. Thanks -J

Hello ... For those of you experiencing errors with getBioC() using R-1.9.1 and release options, I believe that this problem has been solved. If you're still encountering any difficulties, just let me know. Thanks -Jeff

While you are at it, can you please allow people to install R without being root? Our sysadmin will install only RPMs and since bioconductor has no RPMS, all of the R users need to compile the source for R. It is a real pain and many long time R users are frustrated by it. What do you guys have to do something special? Every other unix app in the world has an RPM. RPM good. installation scripts bad. Get the picture.

> While you are at it, can you please allow people to install R without > being root? Our sysadmin will install only RPMs and since bioconductor Considering that I'm not a member of R-core, there's not a whole lot I can do to R "while I'm at it". You don't have to be root to install R. > has no RPMS, all of the R users need to compile the source for R. That's what I do. > It is a real pain and many long time R users are frustrated by it. What > do you guys have to do something special? Every other unix app in the > world has an RPM. Are you confusing R and Bioconductor? R is the application. You can install R without being root, obviously you can't install it as a RPM without being root. Bioconductor is just a set of packages for R. We happen to provide a script which is a wrapper around one of those packages (to provide bootstrapping), aka reposTools, which manages downloads and installations. Here's a hint: You can use a Root-installed R and still install these packages to any directory that you have permission to. The method of how to do this has been discussed on this list and the R-help list many times. Look at the .libPaths() function. > RPM good. > installation scripts bad. > Get the picture. We're an open development project. If you would like to provide and maintain an RPM of R with all of the Bioconductor packages built into it, and then keep it up to date - we'd welcome the contribution. Otherwise, there is absolutely *no* need to have R installed on your own just to install packages for R, Bioconductor or otherwise. -J

You can download pre-compiled .rpm for R from CRAN eg. http://www.cran.mirrors.pair.com/bin/linux/ You should also note that not everybody in the world uses an RPM based Linux distribution. As for installing BioC as a non root user. Try setting the R_LIBS environment variable eg for bash export R_LIBS=/home/myaccount/MyRpacks thanks, Ben On Tue, 2004-08-24 at 11:10, Robert Baertsch wrote: > While you are at it, can you please allow people to install R without > being root?

thanks Ben, export R_LIBS sounds like a good solution. I will try it.

You can compile R without being root. Why not just do that? i.e. unpack, then ./configure --prefix=/home/your/placement/directory for example... best, -tony Robert Baertsch <baertsch@soe.ucsc.edu> writes: > While you are at it, can you please allow people to install R without > being root?

We have R installed with RPMs (by root), sorry for the confusion. My request was for a RPM install of bioconductor. I guess that is not possible. When I tried to install bioconductor myself, I got a permission problem with /usr/lib since it is root owned. Can someone tell my how to use the .libPath command to get around that? Better yet, it would be nice if these incantations were on the bioconductor website. -Robert A.J. Rossini wrote: >You can compile R without being root.

You will have to either follow Ben Bolstad's suggestion or put the .libPath() command in either an .Rprofile or .First file. Please see ?.libPaths and ?.Rprofile for more information.

Alternatively, I thought that a BioC-installer package for Debian exists (at least on the recent Quantian bootable DVDs, I think). best, -tony -- Anthony Rossini Research Associate Professor rossini@u.washington.edu http://www.analytics.washington.edu/ Biomedical and Health Informatics University of Washington Biostatistics, SCHARP/HVTN Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center UW (Tu/Th/F): 206-616-7630 FAX=206-543-3461 | Voicemail is unreliable FHCRC (M/W): 206-667-7025 FAX=206-667-4812 | use Email CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message and any attachme...{{dropped}}

>RPM good. >installation scripts bad. >Get the picture. To be honest, I've had nothing but trouble with RPMs and always install from source. The Marlboro man wouldn't use RPMs. John Wayne wouldn't use RPMs. Be a real man, install from source ;-)
