Folks, I'm working up an automated build script to install bioconductor-1.5 and its dependencies in our R-2.0.1 installation, and have run across something puzzling. The platform is Sun SPARC/Solaris-9, R-2.0.1 compiled with Sun Studio-8 compilers. I'm not certain if this is a problem with reposTools() (as opposed to something with R itself), and am hoping for some outside help. What I've noticed is that when I invoke R from a shell script, with R's stdin from a file, or from a pipe, install.packages2() cannot find the dependency packages which are part of the regular R library, even though "library()" shows all the standard packages present. If I invoke R "normally," with stdin as a tty, then install.packages2() works perfectly, finding the pre-installed R library packages just fine. Note that it's only the finding of dependencies that is failing. A brief Google search turned up nothing helpful to me, nor did a quick search of this mailing list's archives. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior? I've attached a transcript of a failing session. Thanks and regards, -- Marion Hakanson <hakansom@ohsu.edu> -------------- next part -------------- Script started on Fri Dec 17 19:12:46 2004 $ mkdir /var/tmp/templib $ /mounts/apps/r-project-20/bin/R
