Cannot install CytoML

[JimboMahoney]

Hi Jacob!

Thanks for fixing the previous issue on gating. I'm trying to update the packages, and flowWorkspace installs fine, but CytoML fails.

I'm pretty new to R, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Here's what I get:

install_github("RGLab/CytoML", ref = "trunk")

Gives this output / error:

Any ideas?

Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks!

Looks like the libxml2 library is missing from your pc. It may be easier for you to install directly from bioconductor development branch , which I just pushed over and its prebuilt binary should be available within 2 days so that you don't need to worry about compiling the package by your self and its dependencies.

Thanks, @mikejiang . Agreed, it just looks like you're missing the libxml2 dependency.

Sorry for the delay in confiming that this (installing from Bioconductor) works great - thanks!
