[Bioc-devel] [BioC] Bioconductor1.6(Rgraphviz etc.) install problem with red hat9.0

Hi Robert,

You are right, the package GDD is not necessary.
But the package Rgraphviz stilol doesn"t work, even after I reinstalling 
everything.

I have download the graphviz-2.6.tar.gz
after typing:
$ tar -xvfz graphviz......
$ cd graphviz-2.6
$./configure
$make
$make check
$make install

Now, in R:

 > sessionInfo()

R version 2.2.0, 2005-10-06, i686-pc-linux-gnu

attached base packages:
[1] "methods"   "stats"     "graphics"  "grDevices" "utils"     "datasets"
[7] "base"

 > library(Rgraphviz)

Loading required package: graph
Loading required package: cluster
Loading required package: Ruuid
Creating a new generic function for 'print' in 'Ruuid'
Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :
       unable to load shared library 
'/usr/local/lib/R/library/Rgraphviz/libs/Rgraphviz.so':
 libdotneato.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
Error: .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'Rgraphviz'
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'Rgraphviz'

But it is there:
$ cd /usr/local/lib/R/library/Rgraphviz/libs/
$ ls -al
total 108
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Nov 21 16:24 .
drwxr-xr-x   12 root     root         4096 Nov 21 16:24 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        94257 Nov 21 16:24 Rgraphviz.so

What was wrong?

Hi,
 Your problems are with missing redhat libraries, and those are the 
folks who are going to have to help you. This does not really have 
much to do with Bioconductor, except in  the fact that it uses these 
libraries and you do not have them installed.

Hello all,

I want to install the R-2.1.1 and bioconductor 1.6 in Redhat 9.0,

The problems are:

1) after downloaded the R-2.1.1 packages, and % tar -xvfz, and % cd 
R-2.1.1
   I did % ./configure

  I don't know what packages you downloaded, for BioC, please read the 
manual page as we describe pretty clearly the recommended way to 
install Bioconductor. But many (and certainly all the ones you have 
had problems with, require other libraries to be installed).

  The errors below have to do with a package named GDD, I am not sure 
why you are attempting to install it. But it relies on the gd library, 
so that is the place to start. Google can often be of some help, as 
can the R mailing list archive.

 If you want Rgraphviz, then you will need to install graphviz from 
ATT, and make sure that you install a "developer version" as you will 
need header files (that is the case with almost all RedHat packages, 
you need to make sure the header files are installed, and in the 
RedHat world, that often means installing a developer version - but I 
have not used RedHat in years).

 best wishes
   Robert
