  • Linux Mint: Not playing nice with bioconductor/edgeR. Why?

    I am running Linux Mint (a variant of Ubuntu basically). I get the following warning messages:

    Code:
    > source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    Bioconductor version 2.13 (BiocInstaller 1.12.0), ?biocLite for help
    > biocLite()
    BioC_mirror: http://bioconductor.org
    Using Bioconductor version 2.13 (BiocInstaller 1.12.0), R version 3.0.1.
    Warning message:
    installed directory not writable, cannot update packages 'class', 'foreign',
      'lattice', 'MASS', 'Matrix', 'mgcv', 'nlme', 'rpart', 'survival'
    Worse still. I cannot install packages such as edgeR.

    Code:

    I never had this trouble on my OSX. Has anyone else had experience with problems like this? I tried updating my bioconductor package and that didn't fix it. Never saw this error before.

    Code:
    installed directory not writable
    ..
    installed directory not writable
    There's your problem. Where does it try to install? You could probably do it the sudo way, or alternatively, chown -R the install dir..

      Code:
      > .libPaths()
      [1] "/home/hlyates/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0"
      [2] "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library"                  
      [3] "/usr/lib/R/site-library"                        
      [4] "/usr/lib/R/library"
      So my guess is that I will have to see if this puppy below is writable right?

      [1] "/home/hlyates/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0"
      So I checked. I did the following chmod 777 /home/hlyates/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.0

      And it shows the following:
      drwxrwxrwx

      I am reinstalling the bioconductor package as we speak. And...it didn't work. I got

      The downloaded source packages are in
      ‘/tmp/Rtmpu5qpbt/downloaded_packages’
      Warning messages:
      1: packages ‘base’, ‘compiler’, ‘datasets’, ‘graphics’, ‘grDevices’, ‘grid’, ‘methods’, ‘parallel’, ‘splines’, ‘stats’, ‘stats4’, ‘tcltk’, ‘tools’, ‘utils’ are not available (for R version 3.0.1)
      2: In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, lib = lib, repos = repos, ...) :
      installation of package ‘cluster’ had non-zero exit status
      3: In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, lib = lib, repos = repos, ...) :

      4: In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, lib = lib, repos = repos, ...) :
      installation of package ‘Matrix’ had non-zero exit status
      5: In install.packages(pkgs = pkgs, lib = lib, repos = repos, ...) :

      7: installed directory not writable, cannot update packages 'class', 'foreign',
      'lattice', 'MASS', 'Matrix', 'mgcv', 'nlme', 'rpart', 'survival'
      Why the heck is this even an issue?

      So now when I get into R, I typed
      sudo R
      . Which probably will fix the issue. But in general. How can I make sure all my stuff is writable. Kind of weird that this happened in Linux given I am the admin. Maybe the lesson here is that whenever I want to install packages, I makes sure my R session is sudo?

        run these updates as root.

        OR

        Know how to run your own local, user copy of R which is just a little bit tricky.

          These lines

          /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llapack
          /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas
          /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgfortran

          indicate that more-or-less standard libraries liblapack, libblas, and libgfortran are not being found. Likely they _were_ found when you installed R, and you've done something to your system in the mean time. Use your system package manager to re-install these packages, or `ldconfig` with appropriate arguments to update the ld data base to include the paths where the libraries are located, or (temporarily) set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path(s) where the libraries are located (discovered using, e.g., `locate liblapack.so`). Searching for `[r] gfortran` on StackOverflow might lead to more extensive suggestions.

          The warnings about 'installed directory not writeable' means that the listed R packages were installed in a directory that is not writeable, probably by a system administrator. This means that they cannot be updated (except by the administrator), but should not be causing problems with installation of edgeR.

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
