issue with graph package in using RBGL -‘'graph' is not a valid installed package’"
Thank you very much Dan, Uwe and Duncan. First suggestion by Dan itself worked so I didn't have to try the other ones. But those suggestions and comments are of much value and are appreciated. Regards, Joe On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 7:14 PM, Duncan Murdoch

Dear all, I am trying to run the function "lambdaSets" using the package "RBGL". This package uses another package "graph" which has been removed from the CRAN repository, but is available at the archive (http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/graph/). I installed the package from the R menu at "install packages from local zip files" (after downloading the "graph_1.30.0.tar.gz" file, unzipping it and making it a zip file; gz is not recognized by R.). I get no warning here so I assumed installation went well. However, when I type "require(RBGL)" I get the error message that: "Failed with error: ??'graph' is not a valid installed package?".
Installing a package is not that simple. ?R does various processing when taking the source tar.gz file and producing the binary image that it puts in the .zip. ?You would need to run R CMD INSTALL graph_1.30.0.tar.gz to do the install, but you probably don't have the tools installed to get this to work. However, graph is available on the Bioconductor web site, so if you select "BioC software" as a repository selection, the regular menu entry for installing packages should work. ?I just tested it on Windows, which I assume you're using (since other platforms don't use .zip).

I am using R version 2.12.2 (2011-2-25). I am a new user so your advice would be of great help. Best wishes, Joe
