Installation of lumi package in R 3.0.1

[TYRANISTAR]

Dear all,

I have a problem in the installation of lumi. My R version is 3.0.1, bioconductor is 2.12, and I used the command source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"); biocLite("lumi").

However, I receive the following errors:

checking for X... no configure: error: X11 not found but required, configure aborted.

ERROR: configuration failed for package βrglβ

• removing β/usr/local/lib64/R-3.0.1/library/rglβ

ERROR: dependency βrglβ is not available for package βksβ

• removing β/usr/local/lib64/R-3.0.1/library/ksβ ERROR: dependency βksβ is not available for package βhdrcdeβ
• removing β/usr/local/lib64/R-3.0.1/library/hdrcdeβ ERROR: dependency βhdrcdeβ is not available for package βlumiβ
• removing β/usr/local/lib64/R-3.0.1/library/lumiβ

My next step was to install x11 but when i use the command:

install.packages("x11")

But I get the error:

package βx11β is not available (for R version 3.0.1)

When I tried install.packages("x12")

it installed alright but the lumi package still can't be installed (with the same errors)

Anyone experienced that before?

Thank you in advance,

you need X11 devel packages in your distribution: Ubuntu/Fedora....
use your package manager for that.

Here is the Stack Overflow question on the same topic.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19810187/installation-of-lumi-package-in-r-3-0-1

There is no answer but here is a comment to the question

" X11 is not an R package but a windowing system. It's apparently required by some of the dependencies of lumi. So you need to install X11 which is done at the operating system level (see this page for instructions. Additionally R needs to be compiled with support for X11 "

Check if that helps !



Thanks,
