Hi,
I've been installing EBImage several time these past months on multiple
machines, using instructions at:
http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/EBImage.html.
I've noticed a few strange things with the installer:
- When the installer installs the dependencies and one of them fails (e.g.
"tiff" or "png", because the headers are not installed on the system), and I
run again biocLite("EBImage"), then even the dependencies that previously
installed successfully (I saw the "DONE (xxx)" line in the logs) are
re-downloaded and re-installed...
- The script asks if I want to upgrade my packages. If I says yes, then the
system-wide installation fails because I'm not root, thus the biocLite() asks
if I want to install the packages in my "personal library". If I answer "yes",
it installs the packages in the default personal library location
("~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.2"), whereas I've hardcoded my personal
library location by using (.libPaths("~/.R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.1.2"
in my .Rprofile)... Also, I'm not sure the script does not takes into account
the packages already installed installed in my personal library, thus
redundantly (re)-installs some packages in the default location.
Is there any work-around so that I don't have to move all the (redundantly)
installed packages into my actual personal library?
Cheers
GM
