Hello,

I am trying to use 'tximport' to create count matrix for counts produced by kallisto aligner.

After typing this:

txi.kallisto <- tximport(files, type = "kallisto", txOut = TRUE)

I got the error:

Error in H5Fopen(file, flags = flags, fapl = fapl, native = native) : 
  HDF5. File accessibility. Unable to open file.

My R version is 4.2.3 so I install the 'Rhdf5lib' by:

BiocManager::install("Rhdf5lib")
library(Rhdf5lib)

I also tried install the 'rhdf5' and it was also the same problem.

I also tried this command Sys.setenv(HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING = "FALSE") suggested by Mike but did not solve the problem.

I cannot get the sessionInfo:

> sessionInfo()
Error in x$Priority : $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors
In addition: Warning message:
In FUN(X[[i]], ...) :
  DESCRIPTION file of package 'rhdf5' is missing or broken

Does anyone know how to solve the problem? Many thanks!

You can avoid using HDF5 by pointing to the .tsv files instead of the .h5 files. I realize this doesn't help with your HDF5 issue, but that's orthogonal to your main goal anyway.

Hello James,

thank you for your reply. Actually I also tried using tsv files:

files <- file.path(dir, samples$Out, "abundance.tsv")
txi.kallisto.tsv <- tximport(files, type = "kallisto", tx2gene = tx2gene, ignoreAfterBar = TRUE)

But I still got error:

Note: importing `abundance.h5` is typically faster than `abundance.tsv`
reading in files with read_tsv
Error in infRepImporter(dirname(files[1])) : 
  reading kallisto results from hdf5 files requires Bioconductor package `rhdf5`

Do you know how to solve this problem?
