[R] : Followup Error in library(gplots) : there is no package called 'gplots' : 64bits

[Martin Valere]

Dear James and everybody interested, 

  James'idea was correct : the problem was related to the 64bits version of R. Trying on the same computer a 32bits version of R did not produce this 'gplots' error (but many other conflicts linked to 64 / 32 bits) when installing RODBC package.

I will install a 32 Linux version in parallel ...

Dear James,

  i have tried to install the package RODBC1-3.1 with R version 2.9.0 and 2.10.1 (using Opensuse 11.1, 64bits). I have tried install.packages locally (package downloaded and stored locally on the computer) or directly from Internet (using different mirrors !). Same results each time ...

Same outcome either if I try to install other packages like for instance e1071. So it appears this is not linked to the package itself but rather with R-base or R-devel (both are installed) ...

Regards,

Valère

Hi Vava,
What version of R are you using? I'm not sure but I think that R will 
refuse to install a package in this way if the version of gplots is 
incompatiable with the version of R you're using. You can check the 
depends of packages on CRAN.

Regards,
James

Betreff:	Error in library(gplots) : there is no package called 'gplots'

Dear all,

   I have an issue trying to install new packages (have tried with RODBC_1.3-1, gplots_2.6.1, gtools_2.7.4 packages) and get the same error message :
"Error in library(gplots) : there is no package called 'gplots'"

Only clue I have found so far on the Web is related to Perl (Perl modules are installed on my computer, but which one is related to gplots if any ?); no gplots in usr/lib or /usr/lib64 at least ... I am somewhat lost here, having no idea about Perl (if Perl is really the issue ?).

I am using OpenSuse 11.1 (64bits); and R version 2.9.0. Installation of package  is performed offline as Root.
