Rgraphviz and R 2.9 in ubuntu jaunty
Laura, My first suggestion would be to go here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ This will give you instructions on how to make sure you are using the most recent version of R in Ubuntu. Once you have upgraded to 9.2 (which I think is a good thing if you are using biocondctor), then try to get Rgaphviz. Updating to 2.9 may also fix the biocinstall issue. I have not used Rgraphviz before, so I am going to make a couple of general suggestions. First, make sure you run install command as "sudo R CMD INSTALL Rgraphviz --configure-args="--with-graphviz=/usr/share" ", as you will need root access. I also do not think you need the --with-graphviz option, because under Ubuntu, that is where prts of it are installed. If you installed graphviz from source, I would recommend the Ubuntu packages. You may also need graphviz-dev and libgraphviz-dev packages installed in order to compile things under R. Let us know if you have further questions, Michael

Dear people,
I'm new here, so this is my first try. I have ubuntu 9.04 installed
with R 2.8 (which surprises me because I realized that the last
version R 2.9 is available but in the Synaptic Package Manager 2.8
appears as the last one). I have also graphviz 2.20.2. I have been
trying to install Rgraphviz either from R running
"biocLite("Rgraphviz")" and from the shell running "R CMD INSTALL
Rgraphviz --configure-args="--with-graphviz=/usr/share" "
This is the error in both cases:
configure: Using Graphviz dir '/usr/share' configure: error:
/usr/share/bin/dot not found. Check Graphviz installation. ERROR:
configuration failed for package 'Rgraphviz' ** Removing
'/home/laura/R/i486-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.8/Rgraphviz' I specify the
directory /usr/share because there is where graphviz was installed
(or at least is located there).
I also get this warning in R: Running biocinstall version 2.3.13 with
R version 2.8.1 Your version of R requires version 2.3 of
Bioconductor.
But even if I download manually and try to install R 2.9, the version
taht it runs is 2.8.
Well, two problems in one: Rgraphviz package and R update.
I appreciate any help. I'm sorry if I'm skipping something obvious,
but I still don't get it.
Thanks!
Laura
